Do you know of a good web tool for entering rich text data into a table (like in a word document) that can then export that data to clean (GitHub flavored) Markdown?

edit: Google Docs’s Markdown export seem to be pretty good.

Yep, vertical tabs are better.

The feature already works pretty well in @firefoxnightly.

I follow a number of Facebook groups and users, but Facebook’s algorithmic timeline doesn’t reliably show me all their new content, so I tried pasting their URLs into my feed reader (Feedbro) and it worked. Even URLs like https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=xxxx… are supported. Looks like I’ll never have to open Facebook’s timeline again. May RSS live forever.

In the Notes app on macOS, if you select a note from the list in the left column and then press the Delete key, the selected note will be immediately deleted without asking you for confirmation (like an “Are you sure?” dialog). This action absolutely needs a confirmation. Imagine accidentally deleting an important note and not noticing it for several days. What was Apple thinking.

Looks like the heavily polluted air in northern China is being carried by wind to South Korea (notice the wind direction in the video). Even southern Japan seems to be affected.

My town’s website hides the navigation in a slide-in menu and then puts an animated effect on the hamburger icon to make it more noticeable.

I don’t like this. Navigation should be more visible. Put it on the bottom of the page.

You can promote your website by printing a large QR code for its URL on your bag or suitcase. So large that even a person across the street could scan it with their smartphone.
