Added markdowntext support.

Scoble asks on Twitter if there are successful companies that have an open source product. There are lots of them. There are markets where users and developers won't even consider your product or service if it isn't open source. It's a trust issue. I offered an example, WordPress, which probably wouldn't have launched well if it wasn't open source.

Another review of the X3 e-reader, this time from TechCrunch. I keep seeing reviews of this and each time I come this close to ordering one. I love my Kindle but I don’t always have it with me.

Knicks will play the Sixers in round 2 of the playoffs starting Monday.

I've been teaching Claude why we favor Markdown. "We add support for Markdown editing wherever we can, because people like Markdown and they should. It makes things simple and guarantees a certain level of flexibility for their writing far beyond the standards of twitter-like systems with tiny little text boxes. If you don't really support Markdown people figure it out right away. But the character limits and stuff like that seem more technical to users.

The new image generation in ChatGPT is really good for iterating on app mockups. Like asking for visual ideas on dark mode improvements. I’m going back and forth with image gen, scribbling and color changes in Acorn, then pasting into Codex to update code.
