|
|
|
|
- it is a _web-to-print_ app

|
|
|
- written in `Python`
|
|
|
|
|
- using `Flask`
|
|
|
|
|
- takes a plain text list
|
|
|
|
|
- written in `Markdown`
|
|
|
|
|
- and renders it in the browser
|
|
|
|
|
- as `HTML` document
|
|
|
|
|
- with some style and formatting
|
|
|
|
|
- so i can think through the form of the list

|
|
|
- while writing
|
|
|
|
|
- im using a _web-to-print_ approach

|
|
|
|
- because formatting with `CSS`
|
|
|
|
|
- is really handy

- sorcery
|
|
|
|
|
- the list can shuffle a lot
|
|
|
|
|
- without extra work

- find the machine on _git_
