Just starred markata-todoui by WaylonWalker. It’s an exciting project with a lot to offer.

A todo plugin for markata. It is a tui (text user interface) that runs in the terminal using textual. It gives me a trello-board feel from the terminal. I can create, update, delete, move, and fully manage my todo items from the terminal with it.

A long needed feature of markata has been the ability to really configure out templates with configuration rather. It’s been long that you needed that if you really want to change the style, meta tags, or anything in the head you needed to write a plugin or eject out of the template and use your own.

Now you can add some extra style to your site with the existing built-in template.

[[markata.head]] text = """ <style> img { width: 100%; height: auto; } ul { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; } </style> """

You can have more than one Head #

Each text entry in markata.head just gets appended raw into the head.

Looking for inspiration? markata-slides by WaylonWalker.

A slides plugin for markata that allows you to create presentations in markdown from the comfort of your favorite editor. Each new h2 tag (## in markdown) becomes a new slide.

I’m really getting into using hatch as my go to build system, and I am really liking it so far. I am slowly finding new things that just work really well. hatch new is one of those things that I didn’t realize I needed until I had it.

creating new versions created by myself with stable diffusion

❯ pipx run hatch new --help Usage: hatch new [OPTIONS] [NAME] [LOCATION] Create or initialize a project. Options: -i, --interactive Interactively choose details about the project --cli Give the project a command line interface --init Initialize an existing project -h, --help Show this message and exit.

Note! I am running all of these commands with pipx. I like to use pipx for all of my system level cli applications. To emphasis this point in the article I am going to use pipx run hatch, but you can pipx install hatch then just run hatch from there.

Running hatch new -i will ask let you interactivly choose details about the project, such as the project’s name.

Hatch has an amazing versioning cli for python packages that just works. It takes very little config to get going and you can start bumping versions without worry.

Just starred cloak.nvim by laytan. It’s an exciting project with a lot to offer.

Cloak allows you to overlay *’s over defined patterns in defined files.

Markata is a great python framework that allows you to go from markdown to a full website very quickly. You can get up and running with nothing more than Markdown. It is also built on a full plugin architecture, so if there is extra functionality that you want to add, you can create a plugin to make it behave like you want.

Full transparancy… I built markata.

The talk is live on YouTube. Make sure you check out the other videos from the conference. There were quite a few quality talks that deserve a watch as well.
