Why a markdown notepad?
Markdown is the fastest way to write structured text without leaving the keyboard. It's the format used by GitHub, Reddit, Discord, Notion, Obsidian, and most static site generators. Knowing markdown means your notes are portable — paste them anywhere and they keep their structure.
"Markdown is the lingua franca of plain text writing in 2026." — pretty much every developer
What this isn't
This is a fast browser notepad with markdown preview, not a full markdown IDE. If you need plugins, syntax highlighting per-language, math rendering, or wiki-style linking, you want Obsidian or Typora. For quick notes, drafts, and meeting agendas, this is faster.
