    (Thanks to stackedit.io for helping me format the TeX.). - Source: Reddit / 28 days ago
  • iAWriter 7.0 Wishlist
    For an example of someone else doing this, try stackedit.io where I invariably go to copy/paste text into, and then copy the resulting text out and into iAWriter. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
  • Markdown, Asciidoc, or reStructuredText - a tale of docs-as-code
    Before choosing a markup language, you'll need to choose either a desktop code editor like VSCode or stay in your terminal and use something like EmacsVIM. Most code editors will have plug-ins for popular markup languages which will offer you syntax highlighting, preview, etc. If you're testing or learning a specific syntax, there are many online editors, such as, StackEdit for Markdown. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

  • Ask HN: Is there a site that is just a text scratchpad?
    I used that [0] when I've needed some kind of markdown markup. But this day I just use a small app called Tot[1] to jot things down quickly. [0]: https://stackedit.io [1]: https://tot.rocks/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
  • A bit weird, but is there word-processing software (like MS Word) that uses markdown (or similar) ?
    I like StackEdit for its simplicity as an online note taking app that natively handles markdown. Can be downloaded as an PWA and synched to Google Drive etc. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago
  • Content SaaS | Integrations Library - Markdown Editor as a UI Extension
    This markdown editor is complementary to the Flutter SDK. The markdown editor itself is an integration with https://stackedit.io/, which is, in my opinion, a very well-constructed and easy-to-use markdown editor. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
  • I am confused how markdown works/how to use it for code in documents
    Personally I use https://stackedit.io/ when I want a WYSIWYG editor to use - though I've previously linked https://spec.commonmark.org/dingus/ when testing things. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago
  • guaranteed to call me back when "bill" f#ucks it up
    Thank you; I credit https://stackedit.io/ for providing a practise environment — And editing too many RFCs in the oft-venomous nonprofit space for necessitating a practise environment — — for the proficiency. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

  • Learning To Learn IT Security
    Stackedit - Stackedit is an online markdown editor I use to take quick notes. Something temporary or something that I will transfer to another note-taking app in the future. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago
  • Is there an npm package that would add color coding when typing markdown in a textarea element?
    I want to create a simple markdown editor. A simple element, just like the markdown editor here on Reddit.

    I was wondering whether there's a package that would listen to keystrokes and if something **bold** has been typed it would make that part bold, for example.

    For example, this stackedit web app does it perfectly.

  • Are there any good open source math website builders?
    StackEdit is a pretty neat software, but more limited. It serves as an online Markdown editor incl math support, and can then save/publish the files to a variety of services. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago
  • Atlassian Patch Critical Confluence Hardcoded Credentials Bug
    Check out StackEdit for example. It's not perfect but way better than Sharepoint. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago
  • Please help me find a markdown editor and previewer.
    Hi all, currently I'm on windows 11. Basically I wanted something akin to StackEdit but for my desktop. It should have support for all advanced markdown specs in CommonMark or GFM. I would like it to be free and preferably open source. So I need -. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago
  • [Hobby Scuffles] Week of July 4, 2022
    When you say "rich text" do you just mean you want it to display the formatted document? This looks pretty good. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago
  • Is anyone automating imports into bear?
    I love Bear Notes on the iPad, but my laptop is Windows 11, so until the web app comes out (probably in a number of years), I'm using StackEdit for my markdown notes on the computer. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago
  • Notion vs Confluence
    You might want to check out http://stackedit.io - it's a completely free web editor interface for markdown files which also can sync to things like Google Drive, Github and Dropbox. It looks really good - I tried it out earlier but while it can create and edit files in your google drive, I threw in some files to GD separately and those didn't appear to "light up" immediately in the Stackedit file explorer window.... - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago
  • I’m trying to find an easy simple website maker preferably free to do something like this. I want it to be simple a list like that and you can click on them and pics show up to what is being presented.
    You know, the easiest idea is to make something using markdown or a markdown editor like https://stackedit.io/, and upload the pictures to an image host like imgur and just link that. Using a markdown editor should be as easy as using Microsoft word. And just use that markdown on something like this. - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago
