Show HN: Web-based, super barebones markdown editor

Category: devtools

Tags: markdown, editor, browser, offline, indexeddb

Score: 3.5/10 (Innovation: 2, Technical: 4, Documentation: 5, Utility: 3)

browsermd is a minimal, offline-capable markdown editor that runs entirely in the browser, featuring live styling, a lazy-loaded preview, and IndexedDB autosave. It also supports opening real .md files and, in Chromium, attaching folders for browsing and editing. While polished for a personal project, it largely replicates existing lightweight markdown editors and lacks novel technical contributions.

Target audience: writers and developers needing a simple browser-based markdown editor
