Ask HN: Tell us about your project that's not done yet but you want feedback on
KeenWrite is my free, open-source, cross-platform desktop Markdown editor that can produce beautifully typeset PDFs. I started working on it years ago to help write a novel that has a complex timeline and I couldn't find a text editor that would allow me to integrate a character sheet with the story itself.

Tutorials:

Here's what I mean by using variables directly:

CommonMark doesn't propose a standard for bibliographic references. Would anyone find the editor more appealing if it had cross-references and citations?

Documentation as Code for Cloud Using PlantUML
My cross-platform desktop text editor, KeenWrite, allows users to define variables in an external YAML file. The editor calls out to Kroki[1] to convert text-based diagrams to SVG. The diagrams can reference variables and are rendered using EchoSVG[2].
KeenWrite[3] can produce PDF documentation from Markdown documents that has PlantUML diagrams with elements stored in an external, machine-readable file. Here are screenshots showing variables on the left, diagram text in the middle, and a real-time render on the right:

KeenWrite supports all diagrams offered by Kroki, which includes "diagram-plantuml".

On why Markdown is not a good, or even a half-decent, markup language
Here are a few Markdown documents I've typeset into PDF:
* https://impacts.to/downloads/lowres/impacts.pdf
* https://pdfhost.io/v/4FeAGGasj_SepiSolar_Highlevel_Software_...
* https://dave.autonoma.ca/blog/2020/04/28/typesetting-markdow...
My text editor, KeenWrite[1] (see tutorials[3] for details), converts from Markdown to XHTML. The XHTML is then typeset using the ConTeXt typesetting software to create a PDF. The PDF is stylized using a theme[2].

MdBook – Create book from Markdown files. Like Gitbook but implemented in Rust
I wrote KeenWrite, a free and open-source cross-platform tool, to create Markdown-based books. KeenWrite calls out to ConTeXt to typeset the documents and uses my KeenType fork for typesetting math while in preview mode. KeenWrite can generate PDF files from the command-line.

Interactive CommonMark Tutorial
Although not interactive, I've created a video series that shows advanced usage of Markdown. Namely R, external variables, diagrams, math, annotations, and a different approach to metadata:

Tutorial 4 shows basic Markdown:

The top-right of each video shows keyboard and mouse clicks to help follow along.[1] My desktop text editor, KeenWrite[2], is used in the tutorials.

Millions of dollars in time wasted making papers fit journal guidelines
KeenWrite Themes[1] are instructions that tell ConTeXt how to typeset XHTML documents (content) into PDF files (presentation). I made a tutorial that shows how my FOSS desktop text editor, KeenWrite[3], allows users to write in Markdown to typeset a document against a particular theme.
Before it can be used for scientific papers, it needs cross-references, which, unfortunately, aren't part of the CommonMark specification.
I posit that the vast majority of LaTeX users don't grok how to separate content from presentation. When I asked a question on TeX.SE about how to adjust the line spacing between enumerated items (spanning a couple dozen enumerated lists), the vast majority of people voted for the answer of using `\itemsep0em` to tweak each list ... individually.[4] The correct answer, IMO, is to fix the problem globally, and not waste time tweaking individual lists.
