About this tool

A good Markdown editor is the simplest way to write a README, a meeting note, a blog draft, or any other piece of plain text that needs light formatting. This editor gives you a clean writing surface on the left and an instant rendered preview on the right, so you can see how your headings, bold, italics, lists, links, blockquotes, tables, task lists, and code blocks will look once published. It supports CommonMark syntax plus the GitHub-Flavored Markdown extensions most teams rely on: fenced code blocks with language hints, pipe tables, task lists with checkboxes, strikethrough with two tildes, and automatic linking of bare URLs. You can download your draft as a .md file to commit to a repository or as a .html file to paste into a CMS that does not understand Markdown. Everything stays in your browser; no draft is ever sent to a server, which makes this a safe place to write private notes, code-review feedback, or work-in-progress proposals.

CommonMark plus the most-used GitHub-Flavored Markdown extensions: fenced code blocks with language hints, pipe tables, task lists (with [ ] and [x]), strikethrough with ~~, and autolinks for bare http and https URLs. Footnotes are not yet implemented, but the source text passes through if you export to .md.
