Terminad is a really interesting approach to rendering markdown in the CLI. It deliberately doesn't render links, so you can always see both the link text and the URL. In a browser you have hover to see URLs, but not necessarily in a terminal.

I've been writing docs for different programming language operators (+, *, == and so on). Each one gets a separate web page. I've suddenly realised that / is much harder! docs/+ and docs/== is fine, but docs// just doesn't work as a URL in a static site. Any ideas?

Today I learnt that Racket *intentionally* doesn't have a traditional REPL workflow. The authors were concerned about students not understanding the state between the current session and the code on disk. (Arguably Jupyter has some of these features now.)
