[VicPiMakers Projects] Another Markdown editor...

[Craig Miller]

Hi Greg,

Yes, I know VS Code can do Markdown, but I find retext more focused on 
writing without dragging in all the rest of the IDE that VS Code brings 
along. If you need an IDE, then VS Code is probably one of the better 
ones to use.

I hadn't played with Github Actions. Interesting concept of automating 
workflow. Not sure how his applies to the Pi (storing code on github?) 
but it would be great to see a demo of your Github actions in action 
some time.
