I'm in the process of producing my first physical object and it's exhilarating.

I learned a lot about stainless steel (303, 304, 316, 316L...), CNC machining, stamping, polishing, etc. but what's really cool is designing something on a computer and receive a metal object some time later that does exactly what you hoped it would do.

(For prototyping purposes I first 3D print each design, but the plastic version is waaay less interesting than the metal one.)

Should go on sale in 3-4 weeks; super excited.

Some time ago I made a rich text to markdown transformation that runs completely client side; it's available here

It would probably need a serious face-lift, but it's still used by many, apparently.
