What Hacker News says
3 sourcesHiya Hackers!
For the past few months, I've been working on writedown (https://writedown.app, https://github.com/NayamAmarshe/writedown). A free and open source markdown editor that focuses on UI and UX. It's made to be simple and beautiful but still powerful.
writedown has live markdown preview (option to disable this also coming soon), offline support, PWA and cloud sync.
You can also share your posts with other people (https://writedown.app/DhpDKTulcnOecM3wYt4AOiWiuGE3/posts/82f...) and download your posts in PDF, Markdown or HTML format.
Please do tell me how you like it and if you think it's useful (or not). I've been trying to create something simple that I could use for my personal notes, notes that I can share with my friends and so writedown came into existence.
I hope you like it and if you don't, I'd love to know the reasons. T

his is our second MVP and we're sharing this public beta with you all.
Thank you :)
Source Code: https://github.com/NayamAmarshe/writedown
I'm building projects to learn new stacks and architectures.
Currently working on Writedown: https://writedown.app - https://github.com/NayamAmarshe/writedown
I wanted to create a note writing app that supports markdown and has sharing capabilities. I usually use a Telegram private channel for saving stuff and writing notes, but Telegram doesn't really support Markdown so I thought it would be a good idea to create something like that.
Writedown is currently a WIP and I'm building in public (doing nothing special, just the repo is public haha)
