    Inspired by the design and UI/UX of apps like Notion, and utility of open-source apps like StackEdit, I decided to create a minimalistic, local-only WYSIWYG Markdown editor. Some features worth highlighting: - Monaco editor and Prettier integration for code snippets - Tables (apparently the holy grail of WYSIWYG editing) - Embeds (for CodePen, CodeSandbox and YouTube, most useful for HTML or JSON exports) - Accepts Markdown paste-in, and "exports"/generates HTML, Markdown and JSON outputs - Collaboration (with real-time awareness and initial commenting system, available only when…

    Hey I'm Jack, a developer from England! I recently made portfolo.app to make, making a portfolio / markdown blog easy for everyone! Just claim a unique URL for your page, select a template and theme and start adding your projects with the built in markdown editor! It's free to have a play around with but if you want to deploy there is a yearly subscription! I hope you all reaps the benefits! Thanks, Jack!

    Pinery▲161

    Hi HN, I'm Heberti, the solo developer working on Pinery. I've spent the last couple of years building Pinery with a single mission: I wanted a tool that bridged the gap between simple Markdown editors and complex layout software like InDesign. Pinery is my attempt at a solution. It combines a clean, distraction-free Markdown editor with a powerful, real-time visual styling mode. You can control typography, spacing, and layout visually, and see the changes instantly. Key features: - Write in Markdown with AI-assisted text tools (leveraging macOS frameworks) - Customize the design with…

    Scipress is a writing platform with VS code editor built into the browser. It lets you make beautiful blog posts and programming docs with Markdown. Scipress supports code blocks with syntax highlighting, Katex, Tailwind CSS, images & videos, admonitions, popovers, blur screens, private posts, and a bunch of other cool stuff. You can also monetize via paywalls, if you want. I started this project almost a year ago to the date. This is my first time posting about it on HN. And if you're curious, I have made $0 from this project (but not for lack of trying).

    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!
