Why write in Markdown?

Markdown is plain text with simple syntax that converts to HTML. It's readable on its own, easy to learn (you can master the basics in minutes), and works on every platform because it's just text. Files are small, version-controllable, and future-proof.

Most developer-focused platforms speak Markdown fluently: GitHub, GitLab, Stack Overflow, Notion, Discord, Reddit. Learning it once pays off across dozens of tools. Static site generators, documentation systems, and note-taking apps also use Markdown as their native format.

For writing that will end up on the web — blog posts, READMEs, documentation, release notes — composing in Markdown keeps you focused on structure and content. Visual formatting distractions disappear, and the output renders consistently everywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Markdown flavor is supported?
GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM): headings, bold, italic, links, images, code blocks, lists, tables, task lists, strikethrough, and blockquotes.
Is the preview sanitized?
Yes. All HTML in the preview is sanitized with DOMPurify to prevent XSS. Script tags, event handlers, and dangerous attributes are stripped.
Can I export to HTML or PDF?
Yes — download either the raw Markdown (.md) or the rendered HTML (.html). For PDF export, view the HTML in a browser and use "Print → Save as PDF," or use a dedicated PDF tool.
Is my document saved?
No. Nothing is uploaded or stored. If you refresh the page, the content is lost — download before leaving.
