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,
VS Code
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. Other stuff that just works:
Offline support
Export to PDF / DOCX / HTML
Keyboard shortcuts
Right-click context menu with formatting options — the menu items are styled in their own format
Just markdown, written together, exported cleanly. Free, no account needed. Would genuinely love feedback!
