Hi y'all, maker here. This is pretty basic/simple. And most of the information is pretty generic. But hopefully this can help in the fight, and make some of the waves of information easier to understand for each other. Feedback welcome :-)


maker here. This was pretty quick and dirty, but wanted something a bit cute to add to a time zone widget i built. Might save some others some time


Wish there were incremental clock-face emojis for every minute of the day. Would be cool to have a more granular version of this exact idea. Nice implementation though!


Thanks. Yeah incremental would have been better. This round the time to the closest 30 mins


This is where svg might shine, but for the emoji use case (presumably a non serious use case) this approx time would be fine


Thanks everyone for taking the time to look, and give some feedback. Most definitely better options out there, but I was really aiming for simple, and low tech knowledge to get a md page on the internet.

I added a wiki page https://github.com/oscarmorrison/md-page/wiki explaining a couple of use cases, and some more details. Feel free to leave more feedback / open issues. Thanks Oscar!


Thanks @judofyr + @matt-tingen. I just updated it to use the 'noscript' opening tag. Good idea, and solved my normal html not working problem! Thanks a bunch!


yep. you're 100% on the money. no wizardry here. Couple of extra features like ability to hash link, and external url open in new window. but that it

Line 43 to 48, I am not entirely sure what that hashlink does. What is the setTimeout function for? Could you expand on that?


It's to make linking to headers work. Eg oscarmorridon.com/md-page#code

As the element doesn't exist at time of first load this is a work around to focus on id once content is rendered in html

fixed the flicker, was a Cloudflare rocket script issue


Just tested in on FF 62. Seems fine. But yeah I have really only tested it on chrome


Sometimes I just want to get some information out there on the internet, and rather than sharing a Evernote page or having to create a webpage I can just write markdown.

Main use-case is when I want to share a markdown doc in a private GitHub repo, with a public url e.g http://oscarmorrison.com/md-page/oimasdoijasdmadeupurl-01231...


Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Btw, I got an SSL certificate error when I went to check out your site. I know there's a few different ways to account for this when serving up a website from github, but I'd welcome guidance on what the best practice is for fixing this.


Hey @jonnydubowsky thanks for catching that. Just fixed it all up now, so should be good. This is what I did to fix https://gist.github.com/cvan/8630f847f579f90e0c014dc5199c337...


haha. thanks @boffinism


Thanks @posamari for the feedback, I was a bit generous with the title. I have updated HN title and GitHub Readme.
