My partner usually writes substack posts which I then mirror to our website’s blog section. To automate this, I made a simple tool to scrape the post and clean it so that I can drop it to our blog easily. This might be useful to others as well. Oh and ofcourse you can instruct GPT to make any final edits :D

I'm not the author of the app (nor i have any connection with them, just a random user). iA Writer and Writer Pro aren't well suited for me as a developer. They feel quite "strange" to me. Mou is a good option (free too) but still missing some features. So far this, this editor is the most complete user-friendly. Hope it helps!

Hi HN, I've just launched DocFlex, an offline macOS app that converts Markdown documents into over 30 formats like PDF, HTML, EPUB, LaTeX, and more. Why I built it: As someone who frequently works with Markdown, I found it cumbersome to convert documents into different formats, especially when dealing with multiple files. Online converters weren't ideal due to privacy concerns and the need for an internet connection. So, I created DocFlex to make the process seamless and entirely offline. Key Features: 100% Offline: All conversions happen locally on your machine. Your documents are never…

Hey HN I built MarkdownConverters.com — a tool that converts any file format (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, HTML, or URL) into clean, structured Markdown. I often needed to prep documents, reports, or scraped pages for AI pipelines, documentation, or version control, but existing tools either broke formatting, lost code blocks, or produced unreadable Markdown. So I built something that focuses on: • Accurate structure (headings, lists, tables, code, links) • Consistent Markdown output ready for LLMs or docs • Fast, browser-based conversion with privacy-friendly processing • Support for multi-format and…

I read Markdown all day, mostly Claude .md, and other AI outputs. Every app I have tried felt janky or too much work to just read an md file. I just wanted to open a .md file and read it the way Preview opens a PDF. So I built Kite, a Markdown reader for Mac. It has QuickLook just like Preview and I have baked in features that help people reading lot's of AI markdowns. It one-time purchase, no subscription. I put it on TestFlight so you can try it before paying anything. I would really like this crowd to try to break it. Tell me which files render wrong,what feels off, what is missing.…

I built Markdown Viewer because every Markdown app I found was either bloated (VS Code, Obsidian) or too bare-bones. Wanted something that loads instantly, renders Obsidian-style features cleanly, and weighs in at a few megabytes. Built with Tauri 2 (Rust backend + webview frontend): - GitHub Flavored Markdown + Obsidian extensions (wikilinks, callouts, emoji, math, Mermaid diagrams) - Frontmatter rendered as a structured metadata bar above content - HTML sanitization via ammonia for security - No heavy dependencies, no Electron What makes it interesting isn't so much the features — but how…

I was experimenting with building a local dataset generator with deep research workflow a while back and that got me thinking. what if the same workflow could run on my own files instead of the internet. being able to query pdfs, docs or notes and get back a structured report sounded useful. so I made a small terminal tool that does exactly that. I point it to local files like pdf, docx, txt or jpg. it extracts the text, splits it into chunks, runs semantic search, builds a structure from my query, and then writes out a markdown report section by section. it feels like having a lightweight…

Hi HN! I'm proud to share that we've launched a free PDF-to-Markdown CLI built on our proprietary (you might know it from PSPDFKit) engine. Most extractors are either fast but lose structure (markitdown, pymupdf4llm) or accurate but slow (docling). Ours ties with docling on accuracy but is orders of magnitude faster. https://github.com/pspdfkit/pdf-to-markdown We'd love feedback on it, and ofc send us files that break it.

I needed a way to quickly turn my technical notes into DOCX files for non-tech colleagues, so I built MD To. Goal was simple: Clean UI, fast conversion, and reliable formatting. Would love to hear what features you'd like to see next (e.g., custom CSS templates or batch processing).
