There are three layers: the file format, the repository system, and the outlets.
|
Logarions primary aim is to create a note system, which doesn't waste resources.
|
||||||
|
The secondary aim is to provide an exemplary OCaml project to demonstrate and promote the language (as it happens with many other "Blogging" systems written in other languages).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
ymd.ml <--> logarion.ml <--> intermediate formats <--> programs
|
As part of the secondary aim, the source code needs to written in a way that encourages the language's adoption and the participation to the OCaml developer community.

## Starting with OCaml

If you are unfamiliar with OCaml, consider starting with these resources:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Install OCaml: https://ocaml.org/docs/install.html
|
||||||
|
- Read about OCaml: https://ocaml.org/learn/books.html
