Markup Plugin for RapidWeaver 5

For the RapidWeaver users out there, I’ve updated my antique Markup plugin to work with RapidWeaver 5 (slow clap). It also now lives on GitHub, like all the other cool open-source projects published after about 1970. (BitBucket is so 1969.)

As an aside, ohmigosh, there still isn’t anything out there that’s as good as RapidWeaver for building websites. I wanted to redo my site, and looked into a bunch of RapidWeaver alternatives, especially Web apps. Tumblr, Wordpress, Blogger and all that are great for just blogs, but useless for building anything more than a blog. Online site-builders like Squarespace, Weebly, and Virb are either way too dumbed down, too complex, have the most boring themes, or more likely, are all of the above. Despite RapidWeaver still being compiled for ppc and i386 only (it’s not a 64-bit app yet), and using the Objective-C 1.0 runtime (my Markup plugin uses +[NSObject poseAsClass:]!), it is still the best thing going for building sites. Amazing.

Anyway, Markup plugin, go get it.
