Been writing markdown almost daily for ~8 months. Docs, specs, notes, drafts — everything. And I kept running into the same friction with existing tools:
- Most editors need you to create an account before you can write a single line
- Real-time collab is either paid, janky, or not truly markdown
- Exporting to a clean PDF or DOCX is always an afterthought
- Sharing a doc with someone who isn't technical is always more steps than it should be
These are all great tools for what they do — I've used
- HackMD,
- Notion,
- Obsidian,
They just weren't built for
"I need to write markdown with someone right now with zero friction."
So I built MyMarkDown.
Click → you're writing. No signup. No account. Nothing. Share the link → anyone can jump in and edit with you in real-time with a live preview side by side.
The part I'm most proud of: you can see everyone's cursors moving around the document in real-time — kinda like FigJam but for markdown. You see who's in the doc, where they are, their cursor gliding as they type. It makes collab feel alive instead of just hoping someone else is editing somewhere.
Features List:
- Offline support
- Export to PDF / DOCX / HTML
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Right-click context menu
Just markdown, written together, exported cleanly.
Free, no account needed. Would genuinely love feedback!
