breckyunits.com VS markdown-blog

Also, put down Markdown and give our Scroll a try: https://scroll.pub

It now powers sites like my own blog (https://breckyunits.com/), knowledge bases like PLDB.com, and our first new public domain daily newspaper called the Long Beach Pub (https://longbeach.pub/1-3-2023.html).

Here you go, get the full site without hitting my web server: `git clone https://github.com/breck7/breckyunits.com`

>> So if you write a book, and sell it for $20, and I make a copy of your book and sell it for $10, you are ok with this?

If I make a hammer, and sell it for $20, and the person I sell it to uses it to make more hammers that he sells for $10, are you okay with this?

Your question shows a shallowness of thinking. What is a book? Did you come up with 100% of the words in the book? If not, are you tracking down and compensating all the people who invented the words you used (or their ancestors?). What about the letters? Let's talk about the machinery you used to print the book. Are you providing a "royalty" to the printing press manufacturer?

The problem with me wasting my time is that your question is so basic and shows such lack of thought that I can't distinguish whether you are being genuine or are a paid shill by the (c)opywrong regime out there muddying the waters. And yes, there are a tremendous amount of paid shills out there spreading false and dishonest information about (c)opywrongs.

I feel like kicking this story up a notch: Visit his TreeNotation website, best illustrated at [1] and then back up to his root Github repo [2].I'm finding this stuff a serious time sink :-)

Multiple columns for wide windows is something I find interesting. I haven't seen anyone do a two-column layout which I find satisfactory. https://breckyunits.com/ is a fascinating example, but the layout goes vertically, so the result is bizarre: the most recent article will be cheek by jowl with an old page from 2012. I think it would need be the opposite, wrap horizontally, and scroll-in-place. Something like that. If I ever make another site, I might try to do something along those lines (and maybe use a red/blue centric color scheme).

I still have a Blogger site just because I am not sure how to export all the data without days of work to copy the content, images and reformat everything to go to something like WordPress or markdown [0].

I did something similar, but for adding a blog system to a server running PHP: https://github.com/Cristy94/markdown-blog

The idea is that having it server-side allows for the page to be cached by a CDN (e.g. CloudFlare), so you end up serving static HTML, with better performance and SEO than JS-compiled markdown.

I store them on my server, some of them that I think can help others I put on my webserver with https://github.com/Cristy94/markdown-blog

If you host anywhere a LAMP stack: I built a very basic markdown-based in PHP: https://github.com/Cristy94/markdown-blog

The idea is that Apache/PHP handle the loading/displaying of markdown files form a directory, so to add a new post you just create a new markdown file. It's very basic, but it's easy to customize with a bit of HTML/CSS/PHP.

If you want something really basic, I created a tiny PHP blog that simply renders your Markdown files: https://github.com/Cristy94/markdown-blog

Working on building userTrack[0] I always encountered the need of various auxiliary tools. I had to implement a custom deploy system to build different variants of the product, to create a licensing server (to create and verify license codes and to allow downloads for valid license owners), a blogging platform[1], some JS snippets [2], etc.

Most of the times, the libraries/tools that you build yourself are either to connect and interact with a specific external service OR to have a simpler (only the features you need) or cheaper version of an existing product/platform.

What a coincidence, I just added RSS support for my open-source "blog" scaffold: https://github.com/Cristy94/markdown-blog#changelog
