πŸš€ Contribute to MDX Editor β€” An Open-Source, AI-Powered Markdown + JSX Experience

Hey everyone! πŸ‘‹

I’m super excited to introduce MDX Editor β€” a modern, open-source editor for creating and managing MDX (Markdown + JSX) documents with ease.

This project started as a way to simplify writing, editing, and collaborating on MDX content, and it has quickly evolved into a powerful editor with AI-assisted text manipulation, real-time saving, and a clean, responsive UI.

Now, I’m opening it up to the community to help shape its future. If you’re passionate about open-source, React, Next.js, or MDX β€” this is your chance to contribute to something impactful. πŸ’œ


✨ What Is MDX Editor?

MDX Editor is a web-based editor built with Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS that allows you to:

  • Write and edit MDX (Markdown + JSX) documents with real-time preview.
  • Manage your files and folders like a repository system.
  • Collaborate and save changes in real time.
  • Use AI-powered tools to improve your content (coming soon).
  • Securely authenticate and manage private/public repositories.

It’s essentially like your favorite code editor, but optimized for content creators and developers working with MDX.


πŸ› οΈ Tech Stack

  • Next.js + React
  • Tailwind CSS for styling
  • Prisma + PostgreSQL for database
  • NextAuth for authentication
  • Monaco Editor for a VS Code–like editing experience

🌟 Final Thoughts

Open source thrives because of passionate contributors like you. Whether you’re fixing a typo, designing a new feature, or helping with documentation, every contribution makes MDX Editor better. πŸ’‘
