Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I'm Paulo Soares, a developer from Portugal who got into content creation this year.

The Story

I bought an Elgato Prompter in early 2025 to start making videos.
Tried every software option. They all felt... unprofessional. Just text scrollers with ugly UIs.
I'm a visual person - I need structure in what I read.
So I built a quick local tool. Just the bare minimum for myself.
Then I realized... this actually works.
Other creators might need this too.
So I spent the last few months turning it into a proper app.

What Makes It Different

Most teleprompters treat your script like a text file.
Markdown Teleprompter uses MDC components to give you delivery control built into your script:
🎯 **Speed controls** - Slow down for complex parts
⏸️ **Pause markers** - Timing for dramatic effect
📍 **Chapter navigation** - Jump between sections instantly
🎬 **Stage cues** - Never forget your B-roll reminders
💬 **Alerts** - Highlight key talking points

Why Markdown?

Because I write my scripts in Markdown anyway - If i brainstorm with Claude or ChatGPT the output is Markdown, the automation flows that I create, usually i ask them to output Markdown, etc..
Now I can write there, and it just works - ready to record / present.

Plus it's portable - I own my content, not locked into proprietary formats.
Works with AI tools (Claude/ChatGPT) to help format your scripts.
