A Love Letter to Markdown
I really like Markdown. It's easy to learn, runs almost everywhere and is complete enough for most things.
I use it to take notes while I work, to make lists, and to store snippets of code. For my personal notes I use Obsidian, which at it's core it's a markdown editor. For work, I use VSCode.
The Simplicity of Limited Options
One of the reasons why I like markdown is that you have very limited options to work with. Here is what I use on a daily base:
- Headers
### - Bullet points
- - Check-boxes
- [ ] - Bold and Italic
**bold***italic* - Links

Having a limited set of tools forces me to focus on what I need to write rather than how I write it. My main goal is to get my thoughts down and worry about formatting and visualization later.
