This is great! I LOVE TW but this could be useful on my phone, where I want a VERY minimal interface etc. and don't need anything complex, just quick note taking.

I'm no JS guru - I'm trying to add

to the md2html and it's driving me crazy. It APPEARS I'm following the pattern of the other inline rules, but it just isn't working. Here's my update to the inlines:

const inlines = [
[
  /(\*{1,2}|~~|`)(.+?)\1/g,
  (_, c, txt) =>
    c == "*"
      ? `<i>${txt}</i>`
      : c == "**"
      ? `<b>${txt}</b>`
      : c == "__"
      ? `<hr/>`
      : c == "~~"
      ? `<s>${txt}</s>`
      : `<code>${enchtml(txt)}</code>`,
],

Anyone see what I'm missing?

Great idea, and thanks in advance!

Ahh within the blocks section... that makes sense. eesh.
And thanks for expanding to ---, ***, ___.
I guess I could have hit my AI friend up on this hehe

I was just going with ___ testing to see if there was a conflict with ---

That update works!

Thanks!

That's incredible. I tried tiddlywiki may be 20 years ago :-) and a few days ago i was looking for a markdown wiki that doesn't need a server. Something simple and bingo in my mailbox today !

I'm going to try right now !

Very neat! I'm not sure how saving changes works if you don't have Javascript enabled, though.

Added it to the next issue of weeklyfoo.com.

Thanks for sharing. How am I supposed to understand this: "Feel free to take the code, tweak it, and make it your own. After all, the best tools are the ones you build yourself."
Is this an Unlicense (unlicense.org/)?
