Thanks for the feedback! I thought about using markdown but ultimately I felt like it didn't lend itself to making lists easy to write. There are also a lot of different flavors of markdown and a ton of features that I didn't want to immediately think about supporting or removing from an off-the-shelf parser / renderer.

Creating a simple spec was easy to write, easy to implement, and I can cater it specifically to parsing and rendering lists.

I am thinking about creating a more traditional blog platform with markdown support using the same SSH app techniques. Is that something that would interest you?
