After all, it’s Ruby, and Ruby is nothing if not readable. So I decided to have a look at the code at the core of the service. Brett glossed over this when he mentioned “It does choke once in a while, apparently on Markdown-generated code snippets, but I haven’t quite narrowed down why, yet”. Issue two, it sometimes fails to do anything at all. Issue one, it turns each line of Markdown you pass it into a single new note: The truth is, despite my unadulterated admiration for Brett (as behooves somebody whose whole contribution to the Markdown ecosystem is one very very minor commit to the current developer branch of MMD), his service has a few shortcomings. One of his minor projects is a convenient OS X system service converting any selected MultiMarkdown text into an Evernote note. Brett keeps churning out productivity hacks at a pace that makes me dizzy, and that is besides being an editor at TUAW and having successfully forked Notational Velocity to create his ideal Markdown enabled notes editor. Seriously, it’s awe-inspiring (take your time and check out the Markdown tag appreciate if you’d come back, though). If you haven’t heard of Brett, it’s time to have a look at his blog. To which I answer with a name: Brett Terpstra. Now I’m hearing you say “WTF, Evernote doesn’t support Markdown!”. Using it for Tumblr via QuickCursor (as I did for this post) was a given, but Byword’s editing niceness ignited a loftier ambition: using it to write free style Evernote notes. This has changed with Byword, specifically version 1.2, which has both support for MultiMarkdown (or MMD for short) and for the ODB editing protocol. The only thing holding me back from going Markdown crazy until now has been the fact I didn’t have a Markdown editor I really liked. If you strolled in here (hi, by the way), chances are good you do too, so there would be no point. ![]() I’m not going to tell you I love Markdown.
