Pinboard vs. Raindrop: Two bookmark apps enter
https://github.com/altilunium/kramb
Focuses on local storage, easily syncs between my devices (via centralized server that i have to pay each month though)...
Or, you could just simply self-host the sync server by yourself.

Is there a BNF grammar of the TeX language? (2010)
> It's a shame that TeX the great typesetting system comes with TeX the ungodly complex language
You hit the nail on the head. Brilliant design of the typesetting system, not an ergonomic language.
I think over the next few years Scroll (https://scroll.pub/) will become the language all academics use to publish papers.(Or another markdown like alternative, but ours will be _very_, _very_ good)
You are always in a very ergonomic, simple, fun, forgiving high level language (Scroll), but then you can dip down into TeX whenever you want for its beautiful 2D math rendering (thanks to KaTeX library).
We don't have great automatic PDF generation yet (you still have to manually save as PDF from your web browser), but we will get there.
If anyone really wants this please shoot me an email--fun to get more passionate beta users that can help us steer priorities and build something free and great for paper writers all across the globe.

Lessons learned from 6 months of operating a tiny news archive
> Can you make the rest of the web like this?
Why not build the next thing. Who will still use The Web when The Scroll comes out (very soon ;) ?

20 Years of Blogging on my own website
> As beginner in web development I'm jealous of the simplicity of web development described at the beginning of the post.
I've been blogging for 17 years, and gone through a number of iterations (started with Wordpress, then my own PHP blog, then Posterous, then Jekyll, and now Scroll). The language I use now, Scroll (https://scroll.pub/), is very simple, you might want to check it out. You can start small with something like this:
header.scroll
- Scroll is a language for scientists of all ages
- Scroll: A language for scientists of all ages

Ask HN: What are you building that is taking multiple years to make usable?
It took me many years to get Scroll (https://scroll.pub/) to the point where I love it and am confident it will be the dominant language for writing going forward (replacing markdown).
I first had to invent Tree Notation (2017), which I got wrong on my first two tries (2012's Note and 2013's Space). Then I needed to invent Grammar (2017), and then I made the predecessor to Scroll called Dumbdown (2019). 2 years after that I shipped the first version of Scroll (2021).
Now we are on Scroll version 58 and it's blazing fast, very simple, extremely extendible, and scales very well.
It was 90% me for a while, but recently been very much a team effort.
It took a while to get right because it's a whole new kind of language, so there were a lot of mistakes that I made and had to undo, and it took a while to figure out exactly what was special about it and how to double down on that.

Anyone interested in starting a local newspaper using new tech?
I recently started 2 new newspapers: https://longbeach.pub/ and http://hawaii.pub/. Very different from traditional newspapers in that they are: public domain, open source (view source on every page), and built using a new language (https://scroll.pub/).

Argdown: A simple syntax for complex argumentation
Another cool site I found recently (via the replit guy) is https://www.rootclaim.com/
Very cool way to present arguments.
I'm thinking of taking that, as well as argdown, and building some easy to use keywords in scroll https://scroll.pub/
