> Let's start with something simple, like syntax highlighting.

I built a syntax highlighter, Shiki, that allows you to use any theme from VS Code to color your code [0]. It works great with Node now as a static website generator plugin, but with some effort you can run it all in client side as well. TypeScript's new handbook is using Shiki [1].

I can't really believe how it's 2019 and Medium and Slack still can't syntax highlight code snippets.

Syntax highlighting add any information tho, without it it's easier to bring focus to elements that matter with emphasis.
