Responsible Markdown in Next.js
10.8.2021
Markdown truly is a great format. It’s close enough to plain text so that anyone can quickly learn it, and it’s structured enough that it can be parsed and eventually converted to you name it.

Efficient Infinite Utility Helpers Using Inline CSS Custom Properties and calc()
