Markdown2html

markdown2html is a Dart utility originally created to make documentation for Bookmark Squirrel, before deciding it was well suited to make simple static websites. I like the simplicity of just writing markdown pages, as that is most of what I need for my website. Anything more and I can include inline HTML. Uploading static html pages also means there is no database to configure and no PHP. Just you and your markdown.

I wanted to point out this project is a great example of how AI can create overly complicated code. Why include it in my portfolio site then? I'm still working on it, and I think it's a useful project. Not everything has to be hand crafted. I plan to simplify the code, add a TOC on the right of the page showing the contents of what is in the current page, pull the html out of the Dart code, and implement searching.

In the mean time, I hope you might find it useful.

By now you probably realize my site is generated with this tool.
