Lightning Talks Day #1 – Richard Feldman
summary
Proposes distributed markdown apps as a concrete claim: build dynamic sites from plain Markdown plus Instapaper‑style reader overrides and Bash scripts. Describes a demo stack — markdown + Instapaper + bash — that renders content on request, injects a random Douglas Adams quote, and even supports a homemade checkout for t‑shirt sales. Pushes the surprising thesis that this brittle, tiny‑tool stack can scale into a general app model, but leaves robustness and deployment details unresolved.
