Falconer | Founding Backend Engineer | HYBRID (USA, SF Bay Area preferred) | Full-time | $150-250K + equity | https://falconer.com

Hey HN! I’m an engineer at Falconer, a well-funded SF startup building the future of self-updating knowledge.

We’re a small team where everyone excels at what they do. At Falconer, you’ll join former staff-level engineers from Meta, Uber, Google, and Amazon, alongside others deeply involved in open-source culture, including myself.

As a founding engineer, you'll have a major impact on our product development and technical direction over our infrastructure.

Thanks! Installation instructions are on the homepage indeed

Quarkdown uses actual functions that return values, they aren't macros. As for source readability, it's possible to define functions in a separate .qd file and import it via .include {myfile.qd}

I'd rather say Quarkdown is to Markdown what React is to HTML.

what do you suggest?

Frontend animation library

I posted it on my X, hope you don’t mind!

The wiki explains Quarkdown’s concept of subdocuments. A subdocument gets created when linking to another Quarkdown/Markdown file and populates a graph. Subdocuments inherit the linker’s properties but are then independent sandboxes that get compiled independently.

A cross-subdocument cross-reference is such a niche use case that I don’t feel like it should break this design choice.

That’s truly one of the best compliments I’ve ever received along my dev journey. Thank you.

That’s exactly why I built Quarkdown. Flat learning curve for basic formatting, powerful customizations for the rest. Spot on!

I'll take that as a compliment

Easier to read, easier to write. On top of that, Quarkdown runs compile-time logic and scripting.

Thanks! Dynamic animations are from GSAP

Thank you! This project is giving me so much fulfillment

Quarkdown was designed for control. Simple Markdown to define content, functions (LaTeX-style, but not macros!) for a declarative approach to document format and styling.

Scripting came out naturally, so why not. Since v2 QD comes with a permission system that makes things safer.

Not planned, CommonMark compliance is a strong trait of Quarkdown's identity

love this

I chuckled

Thanks!

Of course, just saying I'm not familiar with the language itself and its capabilities! :)

LLM's aren't too familiar with Quarkdown's extensions and functions yet. But handling base Markdown is definitely doable. Please keep me updated!

You can achieve any layout you want thanks to the .row, .column and .grid function. A built-in CV template library is planned for the next minor release (https://github.com/iamgio/quarkdown/issues/472)

I'm not familiar with it. Feel free to update the table in a PR

Thank you!
