No syntax highlighting in the editor? I vibecoded a pretty robust browser Filesystem API based markdown editor myself too last week. Recommend either rolling your own with a transparent textbox layered approach or just using Monaco or https://codemirror.net/.
Thanks for your suggestion. I use plain textarea so that Undo, Spellcheck work seamlessly. Monaco at 5MB+ is bigger than the whole app. Will instead try highlight.js for transparent overlay.
Tried variety of code blocks - SQL, json, GraphQL, Swagger, Python, etc. I liked the syntax highlighting. Most loved feature for me is the able to print/pdf the preview as-is and pre-view column width adjuster. Loved it.
Included a basic "insert math" option to insert LaTeX for math symbols, greek letters, relations & operators. If you work with Math equations regularly, try it out and share any suggestions for improvements.
i prefer to do it by hand (and in some environments you can also define aliases/macros so that the different constructs you're dealing with are typeset consistently and you don't have to re-type everything)

I did a markdown kanban thing. Filesystem API is very cool and underused. https://github.com/subdavis/mdello/

I also just discovered OverType.dev which is a library for exactly this purpose. I might jettison my editor and just use OverType!
How does one 'install' into chrome so that double clicking the MD files open in browser?
This is the magic of Progressive Web Apps. PWAs support the File Handler api to register themselves as the handler for certain file types.

Nice one, simple easy for quick task
I like this markdown editor library for creating wysiwyg markdown editors.

Was just looking for one today, cuz wherever .MD is produced - not always has a preview like in VSCode or Cursor.
Hi,
Noob question, but how do you author a math equation? There are dedicated editors I guess?

Try this: https://github.com/arnog/mathlive
Great. There is a live editor here for testing with the custom keyboard: https://mathlive.io/mathfield/
There's a language for it (LaTeX).
It looks like this:
\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2}\,dx = \sqrt{\pi}
Thank's, i was wondering if people were typing this latex by hand, or with a specialized visual editor.
both, of course :)

Update: added an insert-equation button in the toolbar of my MD Viewer
Thoughtful UI. Really nice. Good job!
Thanks, mate. If you work with .md files all day, try this for a few days and share feedback or suggestions for improvements.
Nice tool
