Markdown Tech Stack guide 🚀 (by Rufus)

[rufuspollock]

Prompted by someone asking me: "Please Write a "HowTo" section on top of a Hackmd for noobs e.g. why hackmd, how to use it etc.

Tools to use

• https://Obsidian.md for markdown editing and knowledge management
• https://HackMD.io for collaborative realtime markdown editing - think "Google Docs for Markdown"
• https://espanso.org - text expander
  • and set up shortcuts (see below)
• Github projects, issues and discussions have got really good

For geeks

• gh command line tool for github

Obsidian

https://obsidian.md

# Matches are the substitution rules, when you type the "trigger" string
# it gets replaced by the "replace" string.
matches:
  # Simple text replacement
