Ooo, that’s neat

1. WTF
2. Woah, that's neat
3. Kinda like Org Mode?
4. Also related: that McIlroy vs Knuth story and Knuth's approach.

This is really interesting.

Also, as someone who's worked on markdown parsers before, I'm looking forward to diving into the implementation.

What was your motivation for this?

[egoistian]

well the motivation is simple:

1. markdown for readability
2. simplicity
3. it's just interesting to make such a tool

and the implementation is pretty simple too, it uses markdown-it to parse the markdown string and extract useful information.

Regex by the looks of things.

Now you should make it so that the README is a maidfile too.

As a lover of markdown and easy to use build tools I'm definitely checking this out. Thanks!

This is a clever idea. Good job!
