Thanks wturner! If you ever want to develop a plugin for hya, feel free to contact me for any info or support you need.

SiteBox uses markdown as its markup language. People will also be able to run SiteBox on their own PCs to use as a personal wiki. Or to have offline backups of wikis on the net that can be easily resynced. People will be able to collaboratively writ…

Is it this site? http://www.sitebox.com/

I have been working on my first Android app. Nothing big just uses a few spinners and a mathematical formula. Halfway finishing through the app I learned that my hypothesis was wrong. Lesson is before writing the code make sure one has think it through. I am just learning so that is fine.
