Dean Allen
Dean Cameron Allen (June 2, 1966 – January 13, 2018) was a Canadian typographer, web developer and early blogger.[1][2] He created the markup language Textile, the open source content management system Textpattern, and the web hosting service TextDrive.[3] Alec Kinnear of Foliovision called Textile "the world's greatest markup language" and said it was used in 37signals § Basecamp.[4]
Allen was an early blogger and essayist in the late 1990s at his sites Cardigan Industries and Textism.[5][6] He created Textile so that writers could "...Just Write and everything else should be there to support that endeavour."[7]
