Welcome to Markdown Mixer

Markdown Mixer is a powerful, yet simple markdown editor designed to make writing and collaborating on markdown documents effortless. Whether you're a developer documenting code, a writer crafting content, or a team collaborating on documentation, Markdown Mixer provides the tools you need.

Why Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that allows you to write using a simple, readable plain text format. It's widely used for:

  • Documentation - Technical docs, API guides, README files
  • Content Writing - Blog posts, articles, books
  • Note-Taking - Personal notes, meeting notes, research
  • Collaboration - Team wikis, project documentation

Key Features

Work together with your team in real-time. Changes sync instantly across all connected users, and conflicts are automatically resolved. Share documents with granular permission controls:

  • Read - View-only access
  • Write - Edit and comment
  • Admin - Full control including sharing

Offline Support

Never lose your work. Markdown Mixer works completely offline, storing documents locally in your browser. When you reconnect, changes automatically sync to the cloud.

Live Preview

See your markdown rendered in real-time as you type. Switch seamlessly between:

  • Live Mode - WYSIWYG editing with instant preview
  • Edit Mode - Side-by-side editor and preview
  • Source Mode - Raw markdown with syntax highlighting

Frontmatter Metadata

Add structured metadata to your documents using YAML frontmatter:

---
