In addition, for domestic (China) friends, accessing Gitee Pages will be relatively faster. The existing open-source WeChat Markdown editor has complicated styles and does not meet my personal aesthetic needs. When I use them for article typesetting, I often have to make some changes myself, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so I did secondary development. -

Smaug
Archive your Twitter/X bookmarks to markdown
Smaug is a developer tool for archiving Twitter (X) bookmarks — and optionally likes — into markdown files in an automated way, offering a simple means of preserving social media content in human-readable, version-controlled text. Named after the treasure-hoarding dragon, it uses the Twitter API (or community tools like the bird CLI) to fetch bookmarked posts and outputs them in markdown, making it easy to back up content for future reference or documentation. Smaug is designed for automation and integration into personal workflows, allowing users to run setup and export jobs from the command line with minimal configuration. It supports configuration through JSON and can be extended or scripted as part of broader personal knowledge management systems. Because the output is plain markdown, it fits well with static site generators and digital gardens — preserving links, text, and metadata in a format that’s both platform-independent and version-friendly. -

Flatdoc
Build sites fast from Markdown
Flatdoc is a tiny JavaScript library that builds a documentation site directly from Markdown files, without requiring a server-side engine or static site generator. Point it at a Markdown source and it fetches, parses, and renders content into a ready-to-browse doc layout in the browser. It autogenerates a navigation sidebar from headings, supports anchors, and provides a clean default theme that’s easy to restyle. Because it runs client-side, it’s great for small projects, GitHub-hosted docs, or internal references where you want “drop-in” documentation with minimal setup. The library’s footprint and API are intentionally modest, making it simple to customize templates, typography, or color schemes. For teams who value instant docs from a README or single Markdown file, Flatdoc remains a practical, dependency-light choice. -
