 Because this is the talk of the #internet again: you don't preserve digital media by stuffing the One True Version in an #archive. Make countless copies and scatter them to the wind. Make each a different format. You don't know which of them will still be readable next decade, so *don't try to guess*. That goes for analog media too. The Library of Alexandria contained copies. Many classic paintings only survived as copies. Copying is how life itself beats death. Embrace it. Here we go, my new outliner wiki (for certain values of "wiki") outliners, note-taking apps and everything https://codeberg.org/nosycat/outliner-wiki
[DATA EXPUNGED]
@bouncepaw Thanks for reminding me of TreeSheets! Gave it another chance, and this time it's a keeper. Now I want to start a wiki or something about outliners and note-taking apps. @felix, I agree that plugging md or html into every editor product is overkill. Coming from a </markup> background, markdown was a guilty pleasure and using anything but the core spec felt like using the wrong tool for the job. For me the ideal usage is to make pure text more readable in simple unformatted text editors and it does that very well. The uplift to editor markup is a side benefit of having a spec, but once lifted I rarely go back to the md, since I've exceeded its requirements. I'm back on my usual bullshit with yet another tool to help people make websites, except a somewhat novel formula for a change: https://felix.plesoianu.ro/web/antiwiki/ |

@felix yes!
@felix This is exactly the point of the fantastic (FANTASTIC!) book "How the Irish Saved Civilization" (which I just finished).
@felix Yes. The One Giant Archive is for convenience of lookup, not for preservation.
