Inkdown

Inkdown is a WYSIWYG editor that works with GitHub‑Flavored Markdown, allowing users to create, edit, and preview Markdown documents in a single interface. It supports standard Markdown features as well as extensions such as HTML‑based text highlighting, embedded iframes, Mermaid diagrams, and LaTeX formulas, enabling richer content without leaving the editor. The application runs on macOS and is also available as a web‑based progressive web app, storing files locally via the browser’s file system and caching content for responsive performance.

The tool is aimed at writers, developers, and anyone who needs a fast, reliable way to produce Markdown‑formatted text for personal notes, documentation, or small e‑books. Its built‑in publishing workflow lets users export a folder of Markdown files as a responsive website with a single click, supporting password protection and external links. Because the output conforms to the GitHub Flavored Markdown spec, the generated files can be used seamlessly on other platforms.

Inkdown emphasizes speed and simplicity: it caches edits in a browser database to avoid lag, offers offline access through PWA technology, and provides a straightforward one‑click publishing process that can turn a collection of files into a hosted document site in under a minute.
