Marky the Markdownifier, my web tool that extracts web articles and converts them to Markdown, has received an update that resolves quite a few standing issues. It’s a major update and partial rewrite, so there may still be some bugs. Please feel free to drop me a line on Twitter or contact me directly if you run into problems.

CriticMarkup was unveiled a little bit ago, and it was intriguing but not immediately useful to me at the time. Since then I’ve been playing with the MultiMarkdown Composer beta (available to owners of version 2), which includes a basic “change tracking” feature supporting full CriticMarkup syntax as you type. I’m sold.

I’ve mentioned EventScripts before, but I’m finding it awesome enough lately to mention again. I use it in tandem with BetterTouchTool, but for different purposes.

Ok, this will be the last update to Sidecar for a little while (no promises). 1.5 seems like a nice number to hold at while I work on some other projects. I’ve put enough hours into a project with a very limited audience to feel mildly guilty, but I’m having a lot of fun with this. Hey, I respect your life choices.
