MDyX is a WYSIWYM Markdown editor inspired by LyX — no raw syntax to type, but files stay plain, portable Markdown on disk. Tables (with merged cells) and math formulas are edited directly in place. PlantUML/Mermaid diagrams render inline from source, so you're never toggling between a raw pane and a preview. Tables and diagrams round-trip via clipboard with spreadsheets and diagram tools. Tauri + Milkdown. Windows/macOS/Linux. MIT licensed.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built MDyX because I kept looking for a good WYSIWYG-style Markdown editor and couldn't find one that felt right. I've used LyX for LaTeX documents in the past, and I wanted the same experience for Markdown — you get the formatting without needing to memorize the syntax, but the file itself stays plain and portable.
A few things I focused on:
- Tables and math formulas are edited directly in place. Diagrams (PlantUML/Mermaid) are rendered inline from their source, so you're not switching between a raw Markdown pane and a preview pane.
- Complex tables and diagrams are best edited in dedicated tools (a spreadsheet, a PlantUML editor), not reinvented inside a text editor — so MDyX exchanges data with them through the clipboard, in both directions.
- Mermaid diagrams render entirely on-device, no server involved. PlantUML uses a server by default (self-hostable if you care about privacy).
- The saved file is always plain Markdown — no lock-in, no proprietary format.
Would love your feedback, especially if you're coming from LyX, Typora, or Obsidian and have thoughts on what's missing!
