    I'm Rufus, one of the founders of Flowershow. We love markdown and use it everywhere from making websites, to docs, to knowledgebases. Plus AI splits it everywhere now. Got tired of the framework/config/deploy overhead every time we wanted to share a file or put a site online. So we built the thing we wanted. Files in. Website out. "Vercel for Content" is our aspiration - make deploying (markdown) content as fast, seamless and easy as Vercel did for JS. Command line plus you can connect to github repos, use Obsidian via plugin, or drag and drop files. npm i -g…

    Hey HN! I originally built “html-to-markdown” back in 2018 (while still in high school) to handle complex HTML conversions where other libraries struggled. Now, I’ve released v2 — a complete rewrite designed to handle even more edge cases. It supports entire websites with a high accuracy. Example use: I’ve used it in my RSS reader to strip HTML down to clean Markdown, similar to the "Reader Mode" in your Browser. It can be used as a Golang package or as an CLI. Give it a try & tell me what edge cases you encounter!

    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

    vue-markdown-render is a tiny, client-side Markdown renderer for Vue 3. In browser-side benchmarks we see significantly lower CPU usage and latency vs Vercel’s Streamdown, with up to 100× speedups on large, code-heavy docs. Note: Streamdown targets server-side streaming; our results are for client rendering. Ideal for AI chatbot UIs.

Quarkdown 2.4 introduces a way to override the behavior and styling of any Markdown element, getting on par with Typst's powerful `#show` rules. Quarkdown is free and open source.

    I like writing Markdown, but do not like writing it inside a plain textarea. I wanted something I could use anywhere by dropping in a single web component: ``` ``` That became Writemark. It renders Markdown while you write, but Markdown remains the value you read, store, and submit. It also has source, split, and preview modes, along with slash commands, tables, task lists, code blocks, native form support, and an API for adding your own controls. There are no runtime dependencies and no required framework or built in toolbar. It is fully vibecoded. The process was very iterative. I knocked…
