My #markup language syntax is becoming quite advanced. Let's see if the core part of it remains easy to use once finished.

Only really working on the app during weekends, so the first public release is still some months away.

While my super advanced yet supposedly simple to use #notetaking app project doesn't produce any real output yet, I can actually already use it for it's core notetaking purpose, since the syntax is an extension of #markdown (not a superset though, as indented code interferes with the design)

The typical use case seems to produce #hashtags on steroids

but the plain text files are still surprsingly readable, so basing it on markdown was definitely a good design choice

using #windows 7 at work and currently 15 windows open. Out of all the features that #linux offers by default i currently miss virtual desktops the most

is it called windows because one is mostly occupied with managing windows?

fun with trees

The solution isn't that complex though, just needs some more #python overhead instead of directly matching with a large regex, though the debugging was frustrating, since the regex without backreference matched correctly

One little non-obvious detail about regular expression backreferences invalidates my whole #regex design so far 😩

starting to feel the downsides of having a physics instead of computer science degree

Funny how docstrings in #python are counted as single lines of code (by github at least).
It makes sense regarding that they are actually used by the interpreter, but intuitively they just feel like comments

finally uploaded the full repository of my project to github. It's private for now, but I will release a public version once it has some actual useful features and the core design is established.

wrote a #readme file for the first time ever and it took the better part of a day 😅
but I guess you can expect more regular development updates from me now

what I learned writing my #parser

Finally written enough code to make my hacky markdown-like parser work... took way too long
