I would love to automate this setup at some point. Right now, it works fine for me.

I consider articles above 2500 words (>10min reading time) to be worth transferring to my Kindle for a more comfortable reading experience.

3. calibre. Converts HTML articles into ebooks. Can edit metadata, generate a nice cover, and transfer to the Kindle. The reading experience is native-like, like reading an EPUB or a MOBI ebook. Images and links still work in the converted ebook articles.

I also apply some custom styles because quote blocks turn out wrong with the default styles.

I run a lua filter script with pandoc to counteract some of MarkDownload's wrong formatting around links and quoted images.

The next big step I think all of us have to start considering... is a shift back to forums as a community hub

there's a few right now that are going that I'm a part of, but they aren't really the art/design community I wish I had. With the resurgence of geocities web 1.0 type stuff, maybe??
