Blog improvement ideas

Or A TODO List

• Parse entries as markdown. Probably should do that at save time and cache the HTML (as well as the original file). Question: How far should I take it? Other than the header (which changes depending in login status), the site is basically static, so could be rendered at entry save time (and just do two, one for auth'd and one not).

• Client side markdown preview

• Spell check

• Sort options. Allow users to have oldest top or newest top. Which leads into...

• User options. Stash some stuff client side (sort order, last read). Could do that all with JS and local storage.

• File upload, for images. Level two is basic image editing - at least crop, resize, rotate. (This is the "Image editor as language/stack of operations" idea again)

• Maybe that microblog protocol. Not sure, can't decide if that's just a gimmick
