Re: Turns websites into Markdown
#32I'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…
Weird that swearing is still seen as taboo - guess it depends on location and sensibilities, but dropped the C word several times in front of my manager and never batted an eyelid.
Think the impact tends to be overstated somewhat.

#34this is potentially a big idea. there are hundreds of jobs on upwork "convert my old wordpress site to markdown/jekyll" or "convert my old drupal site to markdown/jekyll". even if you manage to convert a wordpress site to jekyll (with all images, formatting,etc)... you are onto something big. I would pay 20-30$ for a one time conversion of a few dozen pages.

Why on earth don't people test these things on their own websites to make sure the output is good?? There was another thing on HN the other day (I think it was websites -> word docs or something) and it half-assed it's own homepage. When faced with an address box for something like this where I can enter any url I want my mind always immediately goes blank and I just copy the current address in to see what happens, I…
It's not meant for that sort of webpage. It's meant for articles, blogs, etc. not apps. Like this site itself.

> What will an employer think?
Makes me think this conversation from a while ago at my work:

#39Earlier quoted context omitted.
If your future employer isn't mature enough to handle you swearing on a project you have done, then that's an employer you should skip.
Conversely, plenty of people would contend that refraining from profanity is a mark of maturity.
And many others will think you are immature if you get butthurt or offended every time someone says a bad word. We are not 5 years old. Deal with it.
