VisualMD transforms Markdown into a visual knowledge workspace. Markdown is simple and portable, but long documents become difficult to navigate and understand. VisualMD adds a visual layer with outlines, mind maps, and multiple views while keeping native Markdown files. Built for developers, writers, and creators, VisualMD combines visual organization, AI-assisted writing, and Git-based version history in one lightweight workflow. Open-source, local-first, and runs directly in your browser.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built VisualMD because I love Markdown, but I always felt something was missing: long documents are powerful, yet they are hard to explore and organize. I wanted to create a workspace where Markdown files could have a visual structure — tree outlines, mind maps, and different ways to understand the same content — while keeping the simplicity and portability of Markdown. VisualMD also brings AI-assisted writing and Git-based history into the workflow, making documents easier to create, improve, and maintain. It’s fully open-source, local-first, and free. I’d love to hear your thoughts: Do you prefer your knowledge tools to become more like Notion, or should Markdown remain the foundation and become more powerful?
