#32Some 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!
This is kind of a funny comment, markdown was designed specifically to be readable as-is, which is why so much of it’s syntax looks like conventional email and other plain-text usages that predate it.

#34I get that it's probably "trendy" to say you don't have or need a website but with it being so easy to create a static page, I'm failing to understand why you wouldn't just do that, which is already the bare minimum, if you care about your project and want to sell it?

I always thought this depended on the currency; like $5 vs 5€.

True, but markdown was meant to be readable for a markup language.
Which is likely still less readable than something whose sole purpose is to present to humans, such as HTML/CSS.

#39For some reason there's a lot of negativity in this thread. I thought the txt file was really cool, signed up immediately, and have been having a lot of fun with the interface. I don't remember the last time I found registering for a SASS product to be fun.

This is a common misconception, but proper placement is dependent on the language not the currency.
