TextExpander Markdown Snippets and Beyond

Brett is getting it together. His markdown snippets are more elegant than mine, which feel like the coding equivalent of Soviet-era public housing. Either way, I’m going to start pestering Brett to help out with this project and if you are a TextExpander/Markdown junkie, you should too.

This whole explosion of useful snippets resurrects an idea we kicked around at Macworld 2010. Why don’t we make a centralized depository for snippet bundles? There are a lot of nerds out there making some pretty fantastic snippets. Perhaps it is time we started sharing.

I have already installed and started using Brett's iOS Markdown snippets, they are awesome. They are worth using just for the brackets, he has one set that puts clipboard data between the brackets, and another that moves your cursor inside the brackets. I also made my own to do blockquotes.

A snippet depository is a great idea.

Heck yeah, I'm in. I even have ideas for format and functionality, we should talk soon!
