Welcome to QuietMarkdown

A private Markdown editor that turns plain text into polished PDFs, web pages, and image pages.

This starter note doubles as a tour. Read it, edit it, delete it. Everything here demonstrates a feature you can use right away.

Good tools make room for good thinking. Keep the words, remove the noise.

Write in plain text

A sentence can be important, considered, or unnecessary. Use inline code like npm run build when precision matters, and turn a useful reference into a helpful link.

Headings give your document shape. This note uses them to walk you through the app, one section at a time.

Stay organized

• Audience: the person who needs to understand this
• Decision: the action this document should support
• Evidence: the details that make the decision easier
• Next step: the smallest useful action after reading

Lists, tables, and checklists all work:

A practical checklist

• The opening explains why this matters
• The document has a clear hierarchy
• The final reader has reviewed the closing section
• The export style and watermark fit the audience

Add visuals and code

Paste screenshots straight into the editor. They stay local and export reliably.

Fenced code blocks stay readable everywhere: editor, preview, HTML, PDF, and PNG.

type Draft = {
  audience: string
  purpose: string
  readyToExport: boolean
}

const draft: Draft = {
  audience: 'A thoughtful reader',
  purpose: 'Make the next step obvious',
  readyToExport: true,
}

A blockquote fits a guiding principle, a source excerpt, or a short pull quote that deserves a pause.

Export with confidence

1. Define the outcome and audience.
2. Draft headings and write a first pass.
3. Review with the reader in mind, then revise until the next step is obvious.
4. Open Export, pick a template, fine tune fonts and layout, then download PDF, HTML, or PNG.

Your Markdown remains the source of truth. Everything else is presentation.

Frequently asked questions

Does QuietMarkdown upload my document?

No. QuietMarkdown runs entirely in your browser. Drafts and preferences stay on this device unless you download or share a file yourself.

Which export should I choose?

Use PDF for a print-ready document, HTML for a portable styled page, and PNG pages for high-resolution image pages. PNGs are rendered from the PDF itself, so page breaks always match.

Can I use images in a document?

Yes. Pasting images keeps them local, which is the most dependable choice for privacy and export. Images hosted elsewhere can be blocked by browser permissions.
