We're a VPS hosting company built upon one simple premise: provide the best possible tools and services to those that know what they need — better hosting.

This site is using the terrific collection of PHP scripts called secondcrack, made my Marco Arment.

Its input is simply a directory of Markdown text files, and a basic transformation script automatically renders the blog HTML from them as needed.

It's unsuitable and unnecessary for nearly everyone, but I like it.

I like it too.
