jesselawson··on Sigil – A free, open-source, multi-platform eBook editor
Sigil has been around for a while. I used it a few years ago to typeset a sci-fi novel I published through Amazon KDP. Unfortunately it was not as easy for me to use as Apple Pages, which supports saving to ebook directly.

Thanks, berkus. I've added an [issue](https://github.com/jesselawson/rust-tiny-markdown-compiler-t...) to track these valid concerns. I appreciate your help!
jesselawson··on Ask HN: Do kids drag your career down?
Wonderfully put. As a father of three myself, I couldn't agree more.

Thanks for this. I did spend a lot of time pondering over whether I wanted to use the word "compiler" or "interpreter," but in the end it was my CS students who encouraged me to use the term that more people would recognize than the one that is technically more accurate.

This is my first time sharing one of my tutorials on HN so I am still feeling out where I will slip and where I can slide.

I appreciate that you took the time to comment. Thanks for that.

If you are referring to the layout of the website, it's a custom theme I wrote specifically for writing tutorials like this. It's heavily inspired by the Octopress theme for Jekyll.

jesselawson··on Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?
I really like the part about marking the entire conversation. Very innovative and simple enough to catch on. Where can I follow your developments? Thanks!

I have to agree. I have been a big champion of GH but the more I use GL the more I keep asking myself why I don't just do all my stuff in GL.
