Woooow! I love the idea of having documentation that I can just run directly as I'm reading through it, that also has a nice GUI to it. There's a similar product called Atuin…

Woooow! I love the idea of having documentation that I can just run directly as I'm reading through it, that also has a nice GUI to it. There's a similar product called Atuin Desktop (https://github.com/atuinsh/desktop) that uses Tauri for the GUI and the performance is just abysmal (makes my pc fans spin up like crazy when I launch it and navigate around), and have been on a lookout for something that handles the GUI aspect better. Definitely going to try this out.
In Show HN: Ledge.sh – Runnable Markdown Notes
Interesting! I'm very intrigued by the possibility of new forms of computer interaction made by breaking down app silos and linking data across various mediums. Something that caught my eye recently is Atuin Desktop, which seems to be a jupyter notebook style thing that runs your code natively. The benefits of this is that I can connect this data, but in a computable medium. Does your product have any similar ability to bring code workflows "inside" the Surf application?

copy-paste of another comment but I think it answers everything here! The only addition I'll add is that if you copy-paste into another Atuin instance, the richness is preserved. If you copy paste to anything else, it'll be pasted as markdown. --- The runbook files are just YAML (for now). They're more verbose than I'd like, but do convey a lot of information - both rich text and executable. There's an example here: https://github.com/atuinsh/desktop/blob/8ebed35d7efe68a92363... I'm aware this isn't ideal, and longer term we want something that looks much more like markdown. A key requirement for us here is that it's easy + convenient to type - just like normal markdown - so putting everything as a code block annotation isn't ideal. The current sketch of what that could be looks like this: https://forum.atuin.sh/t/desktop-devlog-markdown-
