Hi 👋
I built Markdown Viewer because I wanted an online Markdown tool that did not require an account, upload drafts for storage, or stop at basic formatting.
The site opens directly into a working split-screen editor. You can write or import Markdown and see a GitHub-style preview update as you type.
What it supports:
• GitHub Flavored Markdown, tables, and task lists
• Syntax highlighting for 190+ languages
• LaTeX math expressions
• Mermaid diagrams with fullscreen view and PNG/SVG export
• Multi-tab editing and local auto-save
• Export to Markdown, HTML, PDF, or PNG
• Compressed share links with no document database
Core editing and export happen in the browser, and no sign-up is required. The tool is free to use.
I would genuinely value feedback on the workflow. Which use case should I improve next: long technical documents, academic notes, or quick README previews?

💡 Bright idea
A custom CSS option for the preview pane would be huge, so I can match my blog's typography and colors while drafting. Right now the default theme looks clean but clashes a bit with my own site's styling.

@hazal360388 Thanks for the feedback, Hazal! This is actually a fantastic idea, and I'm adding it to the roadmap right away. What's the URL or current theme/typography of your blog? If you'd like, I can prioritize adapting the viewer to your site's style first. The goal is to support multiple preset themes as well as full custom CSS.

@hazal360388 Hi Hazal, I've just finished implementing this! 🚀
You can now use custom CSS to style the preview pane exactly how you want it—as shown in the attached screenshot. If you'd like to see the details on how to set it up, you can check out the guide here: Style your Markdown preview.
Let me know if this works well with your blog's typography!

Would be great if you could add a simple toggle to lock the editor pane to a specific width so the preview stays side-by-side on smaller screens without forcing a full-screen switch. That little quality-of-life touch would make long writing sessions much smoother.

@aliyelupj Hi Aliye, thanks for the suggestion! That's a great point for improving the workflow.
I've just added this feature—you can now go to Settings and adjust the Split ratio slider to set your preferred width for the editor and preview panes. This should keep your side-by-side view stable on smaller screens exactly the way you described.
Let me know if this makes your long writing sessions smoother!

A collab mode where two people can edit the same doc in real time via the shared URL would make this way more useful for pairing on docs or notes with a coworker. Right now the link is view-only, which is great for sharing but missing the live editing piece.

@zekiyewzal Hi Zekiye, thank you so much for the feedback!
A real-time collaborative mode is definitely an exciting direction, but as you know, there are already many established collaborative workspace tools out there. Could you tell me a bit more about your specific use case? In particular, what are the gaps or pain points in mainstream tools that you feel a lightweight, private tool like this could solve better?
Additionally, implementing live sync would shift this from a pure client-side tool to one that requires dedicated server resources. If this collaborative feature were to be introduced as a premium/paid add-on to cover those server costs, do you think users would find value in it?
Would love to hear your thoughts!

the no-account-needed approach is honestly refreshing, especially with the multi-tab editing right there in the browser. feels like someone actually thought about how writers want to work.

@enaywp7v Hi Şenay, thanks for the feedback! I’m glad the 'no-account' approach resonates with you—that was exactly the core philosophy I wanted to build around. Since you value this writer-centric experience, I'd love to learn more: what’s the biggest 'friction point' you usually hit when using other Markdown tools? Knowing your typical writing workflow would really help me decide what to build next!
