The opinion behind the product
About MarkdownPaper
MarkdownPaper is a reader and editor built around one opinion: a finished Markdown document should feel like a document, not like the right half of an editing tool.
The web app provides the fastest path from pasted text or a local file to a calm page. The desktop app is for repeated local work: file associations, folders, and documents that change on disk. Both use the same rendering and reading system.
Read.Review.Think.
Interface should recede when the document begins.What we optimize for
- Reading before interface chrome.
- Typography before decorative effects.
- Useful handling of tables, code, math, diagrams, and long documents.
- Local processing when a network service is unnecessary.
- Honest product claims that can be checked with a public test document.
MarkdownPaper is not trying to replace a code editor, a networked notes system, or a publishing platform. Those products are good at creating and organizing work. MarkdownPaper is for the concentrated reading and review that follows.
