writedown

8 194 9.0 TypeScript

✏ writedown - Free and Open Source Markdown Diary. Public Blogs and Private Notes.

Project mention: Launch HN: Tiptap (YC S23) – Toolkit for developing collaborative editors | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-01

I'm using Tiptap on writedown (https://writedown.app)
I really like it. The documentation on extensions is a bit lacking but understandable.
One thing I don't really like is the price increase as you got funding. I thought the plans would be cheaper, not 5-7x more expensive post-funding.

Project mention: What do you use to write? | /r/writing | 2023-05-15

Well, I guess I can recommend you my tool, betterwrite.io. I built it to be able to write from any device (and have a professionally printable PDF without having to pay for it).
