grip VS texme

A popular implementation of the idea written in Python:

For creating static web pages I usually use grip [1] to convert markdown. If you’re lazy this even works as a blog. I suppose if you’re even lazier you can just use a GitHub repo directly.

I'm putting together a little package to preview markdown files similarly to how they are rendered on GitHub. Previously I've used grip (and grip-mode), which are awesome, but I wanted a little more room for customization and to avoid hitting the GitHub API on every change.

Any recommendation for grip in Rust? So far I only find this.

If you cannot push markdown notes to a git hosting platform and must have a local markdown previewer, have you tried grip installed via pip?

I use one of these: - Sublime Text Package MarkdownPreview - Command line tool Grip - Browser Markdown editor https://dillinger.io/

Getting "click an .md file and it opens in the browser for viewing" for this Markdown viewer would be awesome: https://github.com/joeyespo/grip

Check out grip: it’s a Markdown previewer that runs in the background, checks for updates, and renders the output to HTML on a locally running server. The nice things is that changes to the Markdown document are updated automatically and immediately.

It probably won't cover needs of "make documents at our office" but I'd like to mention https://github.com/susam/texme. Basically you prepend your markdown file with a line of HTML/Javascript, rename it to HTML and it'll render pretty in a webbrowser.

This is nice. We are website-mates. My website is also 2001-2022. I like the simple and serif font on your website.

I had thrown in your https://github.com/susam/texme few times to quickly send Markdown files for reading. :-)

By default vs code has latex on md. Also https://github.com/susam/texme

So the Markdown to HTML rendering happens as page load time.

This would hopefully allow me to forego the static .md -> .html step I use for building my sites.

I found one called 'texme' here: https://github.com/susam/texme

Do you use or have written a similar tool?

Does the Self-Hosting heading not answer that objection?

> Open source maintainers abandoning projects due to lack of time and interest.

And the occasional demanding users who would rather have us working on their problems instead of our own.

Only about a couple of hours ago, I received an issue[1] on one of my projects suggesting I fix an issue which from my perspective appeared to be a lack of understanding of the documentation I have provided with the project. Unclear issue details and demanding behaviour can take a toll on a maintainer's morale.
