Thanks for building Akayame bambax. Pretty neat.
A few comments:
1) Please add one or more licenses so developers can include Akayame in their projects with confidence. A couple of examples:
http://jquery.org/license/ http://jquery.org/license/
https://github.com/jquery/sizzle/blob/master/LICENSE https://github.com/jquery/sizzle/blob/master/LICENSE
2) The footer and menu are below the fold in my browsers in the Converter and Editor views so I need to scroll to see the menu and "Yet Another Markdown Editor" text.
3) The footer could do with improved styling : text overlaps the border, bullets and links use default styles. Minor quibbles but improvements would improve the professionalism of the site. Image here:

4) Landing page does not convey to the visitors what the site is about (and"Yet Another Markdown Editor" is below the fold).
5) Adding a page or two with keyword rich text explaining the project ("jQuery powered online Markdown editor") and background ("inspired by other Showdown online Markdown editor projects") could help with search engines listings.
6) Have you considered hosting the code on Github for increased exposure and link juice?
- bambax 15y agoMany thanks for your comments (we're pretty OT now and I'm sorry to piggyback on greaterskies story). I'm clearly design-challenged but I don't really know what to do about it (except hiring someone who, unlike me, knows what they're doing; but I don't have the cash). But I did test the footer in many browsers and am surprised to see that it can fall below the fold; I guess I'll test again. What do you mean by "developers can include Akayame in their projects": right now it's just a webapp, the code isn't available and there's no API, so why would you need a licence? (The code would need some serious cleaning before being shown publicly; as for an API I don't think it's applicable, although I'm working on a sister project to transform HTML to clean HTML and/or Markdown, with a public API).
