Every post in this very website is programmed in markdown. It allows for very human-readable source code, which then gets compiled and styled for the end user. It is very similar to Google Docs or Microsoft Word, but all the formatting is done in plain text instead of with the program's user interface.

How it Works

This program is fairly simple. In order to allow the user to edit the formatted markdown code directly, it saves and restores the carret position while highlighting and formatting the source code using Prism.js. Once formatted, the CSS code then styles all the HTML elements generated previously. Here are a few of its defining features (along with a slight bit of humor):

Inline formatting for markdown synatx

Awesome-looking scrollbar on dark theme

Half of the code yeeted from the internet

No save or save as option

Very crappy undo and redo shortcuts

Extremely buggy user interface

Moving Forward

I have literally no idea what this project could be used for. However, for the time being, I use it to plan out various assignments for school, such as essays or scientific research. It is very convenient to be able to format text straight in the editor as oppsed to needing to use the user interface on Google Docs, for instance. Even though this project is a bodge of a bunch of code copied from the internet, It's awesome that it actually works!
