marxists.org looks awful

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on reddit.com/r/TheDeprogram

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Access the most powerful time series database as a service
  • SonarLint - Clean code begins in your IDE with SonarLint
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Hugo

    The world’s fastest framework for building websites.

    Oh I also thought about creating marxist.org from plain text files using a markup language like markdown or org-mode with a static site generator like hugo. Of course managed with git. One could then easily change the layout at any time or offer several.

  • lua-filters

    A collection of lua filters for pandoc

    The programming challenge I think would be to write a converter from marxist.org html to markdown or org-mode. I was thinking of pandoc with a lua filter (see also) for marxist.org html unfortunately my lua is terrible.

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

  • pandoc

    Universal markup converter

    The programming challenge I think would be to write a converter from marxist.org html to markdown or org-mode. I was thinking of pandoc with a lua filter (see also) for marxist.org html unfortunately my lua is terrible.

  • essays

    A few essays on communism

    Github has more users so maybe more people joining (essays is there for example) but it's also kind of strange to manage a communist project on a Micro$oft platform, on the other hand we already use reddit. Sobit I would be (hypocritically) for github.

  • marxists.org-UserCSS

    A more readable Marxists.org. Features support for dark mode. Requires the OpenStyles/Stylus extension for Firefox/Chrome.

    The closest thing to this I've seen so far is a browser plug-in that overrides marxists.org's css: https://github.com/ArkansasWorker/marxists.org-UserCSS
