Private Markdown editing with live preview and export

MarkdownViewer.org is a free online editor for writing, previewing, and exporting Markdown. It supports GFM, 190+ highlighted languages, LaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, multi-tab editing, and private URL sharing. No account or document upload is required.
A custom CSS option for the preview pane would be huge, so I can match my blog's typography and colors while drafting. Right now the default theme looks clean but clashes a bit with my own site's styling.
@hazal360388 Thanks for the feedback, Hazal! This is actually a fantastic idea, and I'm adding it to the roadmap right away. What's the URL or current theme/typography of your blog? If you'd like, I can prioritize adapting the viewer to your site's style first. The goal is to support multiple preset themes as well as full custom CSS.
A collab mode where two people can edit the same doc in real time via the shared URL would make this way more useful for pairing on docs or notes with a coworker. Right now the link is view-only, which is great for sharing but missing the live editing piece.
@zekiyewzal Hi Zekiye, thank you so much for the feedback!
A real-time collaborative mode is definitely an exciting direction, but as you know, there are already many established collaborative workspace tools out there. Could you tell me a bit more about your specific use case? In particular, what are the gaps or pain points in mainstream tools that you feel a lightweight, private tool like this could solve better?
Additionally, implementing live sync would shift this from a pure client-side tool to one that requires dedicated server resources. If this collaborative feature were to be introduced as a premium/paid add-on to cover those server costs, do you think users would find value in it?
Would love to hear your thoughts!
Love that everything runs in the browser with no sign-in or upload step, and the multi-tab editor plus Mermaid and LaTeX support make it feel like a proper scratchpad instead of a toy. Honestly a really clean piece of execution.
@sedat127428 Hi Sedat, thank you for the kind words! It’s great to hear that the multi-tab and diagram support is hitting the right spot for you. Since you're using this as a serious scratchpad, I'm curious: what’s your primary use case? If you had one 'killer feature' that would make this an even better daily driver for your workflow, what would it be?
the no-account-needed approach is honestly refreshing, especially with the multi-tab editing right there in the browser. feels like someone actually thought about how writers want to work.
@enaywp7v Hi Şenay, thanks for the feedback! I’m glad the 'no-account' approach resonates with you—that was exactly the core philosophy I wanted to build around. Since you value this writer-centric experience, I'd love to learn more: what’s the biggest 'friction point' you usually hit when using other Markdown tools? Knowing your typical writing workflow would really help me decide what to build next!
