You know diaries, right? They’re pretty cool!

I wanted to share some with friends, but the big huge exported text is a bit hard to consume. So I spent a few hours hacking up a basic solution to that. Here, check it out [with a basic example](https://abesto.github.io/cdda-diary-viewer/?diary-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgist.githubusercontent.com%2Fabesto%2F640b333b0a757eb36058dff889e72768%2Fraw%2F5db0777a979fecb60865606560004f1177e8bac2%2Fgistfile1.txt).

It probably breaks for some inputs, I haven’t tested it very heavily; let me know in issues on GitHub (see below, new user, limited to 2 links)! Also, share your cool nicely readable diaries \o/

Usage instructions and a bunch of extra info are all in [the readme](https://github.com/abesto/cdda-diary-viewer#readme).
