Markdown-First Blogging: Why We Switched

Writing should be boring (in a good way)

Rich text editors inject opaque HTML that breaks the moment you redesign. Markdown is plain text — it survives every redesign.

What Markdown gives you

• Portability — the same file renders anywhere
• Diffability — git history stays readable
• Speed — no mouse needed for formatting

## Heading
**bold**, *italic*, [link](https://example.com)
- bullet list

Rendering

We render with CommonMark on the server, so what you write is exactly what readers get — no client-side JavaScript required.
