Hello Tamas, Thank you for the helpful suggestions, I'm definitely going to do more markdown via Github (not because of particular love of Github but rather needed an account to build the Docker container with).
notion.so looks appealing for a fast track to a webpage or PDF. I'm not running Debian so no typora for me. :( retext is a Python-based single/dual-pane markdown editor (easy keyboard shortcut to turn live preview on/off) in my package manager and seems ok. Definitely making a better effort to keep work documented as I go but perhaps I got too excited and released it before going back to make the docs nicer. I'm still learning how to release software correctly.
