Whats the appeal of Markdown anyway when we are not using Notepad? My ide has same number of keystrokes for `<h3>` and `###`? Might as well go all in on JSX.
You forgot to close your h3 tag, so 2x. Changing it is also more keystrokes
Most non technical people are comfortable writing markdown, especially when there is a rich text editor. They are not going to write JSX. Markdown is focused on the textual content, not the presentation
Yeah I'm curious if the Markdown form syntax here is totally new or if other people have done something similar. I'm building an app that extends Markdown with Excel-like formulas (think function calls, not arithmetic) and have considered having formulas that instantiate form elements.
Yeah, is anyone familiar with other DSLs for form/survey building and logic?
For my work, where we produce lots of surveys and reuse parts of them/run near duplicates monthly, I've been curious to see if there's any dual code and GUI options out there to allow for survey programming to be version controlled and forked, etc.
That's a client library for interacting with now defunct Typeform I/O, so it won't work anymore. But maybe the DSL itself could be an inspiration, or you could wrangle a fork of the library to create the forms locally.
An actual Markdown syntax extension for forms would be interesting. [_____] for text fields?
