About Markdown Preview
Switching between a text editor and a browser to check how your Markdown renders is a constant interruption. This tool shows a live rendered preview in a split panel that updates with every keystroke. The parser handles the most common Markdown elements: # headings (h1–h3), **bold**, *italic*, `inline code`, [links](url), and - unordered lists. It runs a custom lightweight parser with no external dependencies, so there's no library to load and no network request. Paste a README draft, a blog post outline, or documentation content on the left and see exactly how it will render on the right. Technical writers drafting GitHub READMEs, developers writing API documentation, and bloggers working in Markdown-based CMSs like Jekyll or Hugo are the primary users. Everything runs locally — your content is never sent anywhere.
