jaz303··on Classeur.io: Re-enjoy writing, with Markdown
It's early days yet but this is exactly what I'm trying to achieve with stash[0], plus the ability to browse notebooks over HTTP and run/embed dynamic queries into documents. It's essentially a specification of a directory structure for plain-text files and a bunch of tools for doing bulk manipulation. I began migrating all of my notes from Evernote a few months ago and it seems to be handling it well.

jaz303··on Step-by-step JavaScript interpreter, written in JavaScript
It uses a small-step interpreter [1]. Rather than capturing the interpreter's state on the native call stack, small-step interpreters explicitly model said state using stacks of objects - one per active AST node - and environments. Because they're no longer bound to the stack of the implementation language, execution may be cycled, paused and resumed at will.

jaz303··on Is your website colorblind friendly?
Last year I wrote a small bookmarklet for doing live, on-site color blindness simulation:

It's by no means foolproof but I've found it useful for testing sites in development.

jaz303··on Eyeball: CLI utility for color-cycling terminal output based on time interval
Thanks for the feedback, I like this idea. I can imagine it working well in 256-colour mode, gradually increasing colour intensity in line with write-frequency.
