Show HN: md0 - Simple Markdown Subset (md0.fyi)
2 points by remywang 3 days ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment




I needed some format that's easy to parse and render for an embedded browser, so I pulled out a very simple subset of markdown's syntax. As soon as it's done I realized I just wrote a spec for HN comments :)

If you know the [gemtext][1] format for the [gemini][2] protocol, md0 is basically that but supports inline links and happens to also be valid markdown. Oh, and this post is also valid md0. You can see it in action on [Playdate][3] here:
