Re: Turns websites into Markdown
#2I'm all for cursing in private conversation with friends and such when it's appropriate - but why do people continue to think it's acceptable in public examples of work? Will this go on someone's resume like this? What will an employer think?
I'm not questioning freedom of speech or self expression or anything like that. I'm simply saying, if you build a tool / live example / whatever and intend to show it to people - you probably should try to keep it professional.
As for the actual tool - cool? Markdown is great amongst programmers but ask random internet user what markdown is and they'll look at you like you have 3 heads. I've never understand the use of this outside of programming in things such as content editors or such.

The author is free to do as he/she wishes, but when I see profanity in the title I'm much less inclined to click on it.
I wonder if I'm an anomaly and no one else cares, if other people feel the same way as I do, or if for every person like me, there's someone who is more inclined to click because they saw a swear word?

It looks like the creator also created a profanity-free version - [Heck Yes Markdown](heckyesmarkdown.com) [HN Discussion](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12461088)

Depends if I'm at work or not.

#6What is the algorithm behind this?
Does it attempts to find 2 similar pages of the same website and generate markdown from the diff of their DOM trees?

Looks like it runs the page through a readability algorithm. From there, it probably has a pretty straight 1:1 html to markdown mapping.

#9I feel validated that my markup must be sane considering a generic utility can parse the html into markdown.

Oh no! What will an empolyer think!? We must suplicate ourselves before our betters and beg forgiveness. Repent, sinners, repent!
Fuck. That. Shit.
EDIT: for a site that is focused on startups and entrepreneurship, y'all get really pissy when anyone challenges the employment status quo. When corporate culture can censor how people talk in colloquial ways, ways that are not at all harmful to anyone because words aren't magic, the culture is sick and rotten.
