I had to use Markdown for the README of my latest project (https://github.com/aartaka/ed.modal) and I'm not happy about it. But it fits in with the general interop-paranoid-pragmatic position I'm adopting. I want to make my writing and software (=writing) accessible and portable across all the software there might be. And that means no Org Mode or Gemtext. Plain text, Markdown, HTML, rather. I'd bet everything on HTML, but it seems no major git forge supports HTML READMEs (and yes, I've asked! https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/109580#discussioncomment-11159714 and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/442779)
So Markdown it is.
