Web Excursions are select bookmarks from my travels around the interwebs, because I'm always thinking about you while discovering other people's cool stuff. You mean that much to me. You can see all of my (public) bookmarks on my LinkDing, and visit the bookmarks archive for curated lists across the last few years.

Web excursions brought to you in partnership with Tower, the absolute best Git GUI for macOS.

NSHipster/sosumi.ai: Making Apple docs AI-readable
A web app and MCP server for converting Apple API docs into AI-compatible formats. Another way to save on tokens and get better results.

JustContent
Another (better?) take on markdownification. Very similar to Marky but I think it might get even better results. Works well as a curl command, and while it can output markdown the same way Gather or Marky does, it’s ostensibly designed as a better curl for your LLMs, reducing tokens and context.
How Markdown took over the world
Excellent article from Anil Dash documenting the rise and rapid ubiquity of Markdown.

(The banner image on this post is pretty amazing as well.)
