Hiya Hackers! For the past few months, I've been working on writedown (https://writedown.app https://writedown.app, https://github.com/NayamAmarshe/writedown https://github.com/NayamAmarshe/writedown). A free and open source markdown editor that focuses on UI and UX. It's made to be simple and beautiful but still powerful. writedown has live markdown preview (option to disable this also coming soon), offline support, PWA and cloud sync. You can also share your posts with other people (https://writedown.app/DhpDKTulcnOecM3wYt4AOiWiuGE3/posts/82f5b856-77bf-4db1-b7d7-ba372cbb8edc https://writedown.app/DhpDKTulcnOecM3wYt4AOiWiuGE3/posts/82f...) and download your posts in PDF, Markdown or HTML format. Please do tell me how you like it and if you think it's useful (or not). I've been trying to create something simple that I could use for my personal notes, notes that I can share with my friends and so writedown came into existence. I hope you like it and if you don't, I'd love to know the reasons. This is our second MVP and we're sharing this public beta with you all. Thank you :) Source Code: https://github.com/NayamAmarshe/writedown https://github.com/NayamAmarshe/writedown

An option to try it without logging in would be nice. Since it has offline support it seems like that should be possible?

  Yes, we were actually working on it too but had to prioritize some other things. In future though, we'll surely be adding the ability to use the editor without logging in so. Login will be there if you want to save the notes via cloud sync :)

Looks cool! Curious how you envision the difference between using something like Obsidian (+ github for sync) or LogSeq vs Writedown? Do you plan on supporting networked thought features like concept graphs via hashtags & [[keyword links]] ?

  As the app grows, so will the complexity but I wouldn't want it to turn into something like Notion or Obsidian. Our goal with writedown is to keep things simple. A simple interface that focuses on writing, not complicated features like Kanban, graphs or doing too many things at once. writedown, since it's got social features like blog posts, will feature more of them in the future. So while the complexity may grow as far as publishing features are concerned, the editor itself will remain simple and powerful :)
