winduptoy@merveilles.town - People keep asking "why no markdown support in #Lichen?" I've spent a great deal of time thinking about it.

Gemtext is truly better: it supports all the richness of a good book, and the ability to link or reference other information.

Hypertext inline links are just a gimmick, a technical trick that we've grown used to. How many times has the ability to "click here" made the written content better or deeper? Zero.

I challenge you to at least try writing without inline links. It's not hard.
