Some very basic html with no css would be much easier to read than parsing markdown in my head. Machines should do machine work, not people. Edit: still love idea and execution, thanks for sharing!

I think a good portion of it would parse as Markdown, but I don't think that was the intent. There's at least 1 header that isn't actually a typical header's content.

What markdown? I don't see markdown anywhere.

Headers in markdown are denoted as # and bullet points as * or - usually.

The "# headlines", the "* bullet points" would parse as valid markdown. Which would give the headlines visual style to distinguish them from the other part of the content.

If there's no website, what am I looking at when I follow the link?

I think the intent is that, there is no web UI for the product itself. The UI for product itself is a terminal program, accessed via either SSH, or a web based terminal client. The product UI has zero HTML/CSS/etc.
