/01 A Markdown writer without the distractions
A clean writing surface with live preview, so you can see the formatting take shape without switching windows. It handles the parts of Markdown people actually need for real documents: tables, footnotes, code blocks, task lists, headings and links.
Focus mode strips the interface back further when you want nothing on screen but the paragraph you are working on.
/02 Why Markdown, and where the text lives
Markdown stays readable as plain text, survives being copied between applications, and converts cleanly to HTML, PDF or print. It is a safer long-term home for writing than a proprietary document format.
Everything happens in your browser. There is no account, no sync and no upload — which also means the document is yours to export and keep, so save your work out when you are done rather than relying on a tab staying open.
/03 An online text editor built for writing
Most free online text editors are either a bare text box or a word processor full of menus. This one sits in between: you write in clean, formatted text while it keeps everything as Markdown underneath, so the result is portable to any blog, documentation site or notes app.
Format with the toolbar or keyboard shortcuts for bold, italic, strikethrough, code and links, change block types for headings and lists, and add tables and footnotes. When you want to see or edit the raw Markdown, toggle the source view.
When the piece is finished, export it as a Markdown file, as HTML ready to paste into a website, or as a PDF through your browser's print dialog. Copy as rich text keeps the formatting when you paste into Google Docs, Word or an email.
/04 Focus mode and typewriter scrolling
Focus mode strips the screen down to the writing. It can dim every paragraph except the one you are working on, or highlight just the current sentence, which makes long drafts less overwhelming and editing line by line far easier.
Typewriter scrolling keeps the line you are typing fixed at the same height on screen, so your eyes stay in one place instead of drifting to the bottom of the window. An optional margin line and gutter help you keep a steady line length, the same habit professional typesetters use to keep text readable.
