How it works:

Stop merging incomplete features. πŸ›‘

​We’ve all seen it: a PR looks perfect, gets "LGTM" and is merged... only to realize later a core requirement was missed.

​Viktor reveals these gaps instantly. If it’s in the ticket but not in the code, you’ll know. 🎯

This morning, I launched the first public version of Zolt, a markup language that is the high-voltage successor to Markdown.

Feel free to test it, give your feedback, and contribute!

Documentation (built entirely with Zolt, of course!): https://zolt.marmotz.dev

The story of Zolt is just beginning!

This is v0.1, so it’s still perfectible. I need your feedback to hunt down the bugs I missed!
I have 1000 green tests, but I’m sure you’ll find gaps in no time. Who’s up for the challenge? 🀣

The roadmap is already packed:
- Custom styles & themes
- Custom blocks
- PDF & Docx builds
- Markdown import (for a painless migration)

Zolt by the numbers:
βœ… Nearly 1000 unit & e2e tests (the foundation!).
πŸ“¦ Only 3 external dependencies (yaml, shiki, katex).
πŸ› οΈ Dozens of markups to handle all your needs.

The Markdown successor I’ve been envisioning is coming to life. Welcome to the brave! πŸ› οΈπŸ’»

Why Zolt? Markdown is great for quick notes, but you hit a wall as soon as you need real structure. Zolt is designed for speed, with advanced features, while remaining easy to master.

We’re here! πŸš€πŸ”₯

After weeks of development and a weekend spent on documentation, I’m thrilled to announce the first public release: Zolt v0.1

Moving from an idea to a concrete tool running on machines other than my own is still a massive rush, even after 20+ years in the game.

It’s fast, and it’s officially my new best friend for pre-commit hooks. 🀝

Please tell me I’m not the only one who didn't know this! 🀣

Discovery of the day (better late than never): tsc --noEmit. πŸ’‘

Sure, most of you probably know this one, but until now, I was just relying on my IDE to spot errors. But when you want to check your WHOLE project, running this in the terminal is just so much easier!

​It’s like putting your code through a lie detector. It’s brutal.

​The weirdest part of writing docs for a personal project is re-reading your own code. 🧐

One minute I’m looking at a function thinking: "Who is this genius?".
Ten minutes later, on another block: "What idiot wrote this?".

Long day today. Exhausted, but so glad the weekend is here!

​Focus for the next two days: Zolt's documentation. ⚑

With the 6th bag of my Lego set, I think no one will be surprised to learn what it is, right? #Lego

We're here!

The final move before release: writing the documentation for Zolt ⚑

It's the last step before the official launch. And since I'm writing the Zolt docs using Zolt, it's also the moment I realize the true power of what I've built (while fixing last few tiny miss).

This time, we're there. With the 5th bag, we can identify the type of vehicle... and I think most of you will have recognized exactly what it is.

I really want to share everything right now for #buildinpublic, but sometimes, silence is a powerful tool to build something truly solid.

Just a little more patience, it’s coming very soon. And believe me, it’s going to boost the way you share text. βš‘πŸ’»

I’m currently in full "Deep Work" mode. 🀫

A new project is taking all my time and energy. It’s that frustrating yet exciting phase where everything is almost ready, but every single detail counts before I can show it.
