Show HN: Margin – A lightweight, flexible markup language for structured thought
Hey Show HN!I'd love some early feedback on Margin, a markup language for hierarchically structured thought.Margin came out of my desire to build a lightweight to-do app – though I soon realized what I really wanted was a markup language to capture structured thought. One that was not only human-readable, but also easily machine parsable.Most importantly, Margin doesn't impose strict hierarchical categories (eg. "Header 1", "Project", "Task"). Instead it allows the user/application to define those categories. The ultimate goal is to democratize your to-do lists, notes, writing, etc. making them portable and platform-independent.Aside from feedback on the specs & philosophy of Margin, which would be very appreciated, I could use some serious help with the parser (https://margin.love/parser/). I'm only a casual coder, so this problem was a difficult one for me. The parser is both incomplete and buggy, but hopefully it gets across the basics of how Margin is supposed to work.Thanks!
