TGFM - Thank God for Markdown

Seriously, though. 9 times out of 10, markdown has all the formatting I need for the task at hand. On the rare occasion I need something more, I’m glad I have access to Apple Pages, but it comes with its own set of unique challenges.

    My choice of file-format for documents sorted by complexity of the content:

    1. Markdown
    2. Orgmode
    3. Typst

    I have not come across 2 & 3. Very interested in Typst after a quick look…

    I can wholeheartedly recommend Typst over Latex (if one does not depend on exclusive Latex packages).
    The syntax makes sense, it is powerful and the compiler is fast.

    I miss the Steve Jobs era of iWork.

    I won’t say it was the best (why were there no pivot tables in numbers?? And why is the current implementation shit requiring manual refreshes that you can’t rely on?), but the software worked very uniformly and was straight forward.

    If he hadn’t died he would still be yelling at them to make keynote and numbers work, and he probably wouldn’t have missed the collaborative editing boat.

    iWeb was pretty sweet too.
