MarkDrawn , a markdown dialect with directives that I keep growing- one plain text file per page; the columns, the widgets and these hand-drawn marks are all directives, like
:::annotate - builds to
static html and a little javascript - hosted on Firebase, the photos in a google bucket with metadata in firestore
- the same text can also become epub, pdf and latex books

an editor built for it (markdrawn edit), which was itself spec driven and built with AI
themes and fonts
- the two colour themes are Kyoto palettes, evening and morning
evening in kyoto started as an nvim theme I made, calibrated to my protanomaly (a red-green colour vision deficiency)- evening-in-kyoto-nvim for neovim
- evening-in-kyoto-vscode for vs code, same palette
- both live on my github
- fonts are installed per site in
markdrawn.toml, either from google fonts (the reader’s browser downloads them) or from a woff2 file in thefonts/folder, which gets copied into the build
credit where due
most of this is NOT built from scratch (see the pet peeve above). the libraries underneath:
- markdown in: unified, remark and its plugins, micromark, rehype, smol-toml, github-slugger, htm
- code and maths: Shiki for highlighting, KaTeX, Graphviz via viz.js, jsdiff for the code-morphing
- on the page: Preact, rough-notation (the hand-drawn marks above), three.js, model-viewer, vanilla-tilt, img-comparison-slider, Pagefind for the search
- books and references: Paged.js, Puppeteer, citeproc-js, Citation.js, nspell for the spell check
- photos: sharp, exif-reader, fflate
- the editor: CodeMirror, isomorphic-git, AT Protocol OAuth client for the Bluesky login
- build and hosting: esbuild, Rolldown, Firebase (Hosting, Storage, Firestore, the Admin SDK), Node.js
- inspired by and took ideas from: Hugo, Obsidian, Pandoc, Quarto, MyST, Docusaurus, Typst, Code Hike, Scrollama
