Since I'm never really one to learning languages and frameworks in the abstract, I decided to take up Downwrite as an excuse to build those microservices. 📡💸🌎 Why Markdown 🧐🤨📋 Markdown is probably the most efficient and universal tool for conveying syntax, semantics and structure across platforms. ⬇️ Originally coined by John Gruber (Daring Fireball) it was originally conceived as a text to HTML and is the staple of static site generators, OSS as well as a fair amount of comment sections, notetaking applications or any documentation tool. 🛠 These shortcuts are almost as ubiquitous as cmd + b for bold or cmd + i for italics. ⌨️ Bottomline: markdown is data. It is a method for describing semantics of data and is data itself.
