Project Overview

I created a lightweight Markdown editor and live previewer designed to make writing and learning Markdown simple, fast, and intuitive. The tool provides a distraction-free environment where users can instantly see how their Markdown transforms into formatted content.

Challenge

Many Markdown tools are either too complex or too minimal, leaving users with:

• Confusing interfaces not suited for beginners
• No real-time preview or slow rendering
• Difficulty understanding Markdown syntax
• Needing to switch between multiple tabs or apps
• Lack of built-in learning resources

Users needed a modern, responsive tool that clearly bridges the gap between raw Markdown and the rendered result.

Solution

I built an intuitive split-view editor that:

1. Renders Markdown in real time as users type

2. Shows raw Markdown on the left, formatted output on the right

3. Includes syntax highlighting to improve readability

4. Offers built-in Markdown examples for beginners

Key Features

• Instant live preview with no delays
• Clean, minimalist editor interface
• Built-in Markdown cheatsheet example
• Export to `.md` file
• Fully responsive layout for all devices

Results

• Helped new developers and writers onboard to Markdown faster
• Increased consistency in documentation within teams
• Became a quick internal tool for drafting technical notes
• Received positive feedback for being “simple but powerful”
