So the main advantage is that no build step is necessary to create a website based on this? But I think most websites will require a build step at some point anyway - whether it's to build CSS, optimise images, automatically create sitemaps, etc. And people who use something like Markdeep are technical so they won't mind such step.
And once it's there, I don't see the point anymore - just add a Markdown to HTML conversion to the build process and that's it. That's more robust and reliable that client side rendering.
- zeroxfe 4y agoThere's lots of apps that do real-time rendering of Markdown, either for side-by-side editing, or for rendering snippets (comments, examples, etc.) that are stored as Markdown.
- ribit 4y agoThe main advantage is that you can write a document, send it per email or check it into a VCS and the other party can immediately see the rich rendered version without having to install anything. I don’t see much value for websites, except maybe for a blog where you want to do minimal maintenance.
