    Haha, no. I write my pages mostly in Markdown. They get run through a python script that converts them to HTML, combines them with a template, and copies the output to my /var/www. It lets me mix Markdown and HTML in the same source document so I can do 80% of what I need in Markdown and the other 20% that's a bit more complex can use HTML tags no problem. For example, here's what this article looks like. The only thing had to use HTML for was the image, which was just an img tag.

    Hello Tildes. I've been sitting on this project for almost a year, and I was just now able to get over my perfectionism and publish. With all the talk of Excel being "finally Turing complete" around the time that LAMBDAs came to be, I was surprised that nobody bothered to sit down and use them to make an actual Turing machine. I have at least one more Excel project I'd like to publish, so stay tuned!

    P.S. If you end up writing your own programs for this or find any bugs, I wanna know! Feel free to reply to this thread or shoot me a message elsewhere (links are on my index.html).

    I don't watch YouTube from my phone, but once a version comes out for desktop or web, I don't think I'll ever use YouTube directly again. We need more software like this.

    Fair warning, although it's technically not NSFW, I don't know if you should open this in a public place.

    I wanted to make something that went all-in on the absurd errors that AI art was known to make. 12 fingers? That's nothing. Try 8 legs, and nothing else.

    I made this with Automatic1111's Stable Diffusion WebUI. I started out with a sketch of a bunch of legs and made a bunch of batches until I had a good body that stuck them together in a pseudo-logical fashion. The one I ended up picking still had a head, arm, and tail, so I used img2img to replace them all with legs with paws. Then just a few touch-ups so the limbs and torso thing connected in the right places, and that was that.
