    Inline editing is underrated. Being able to see mistakes instantly cuts down a lot of the trial‑and‑error debugging in Markdown-heavy projects.

      What does debugging Markdown even mean?

      What is a Markdown-heavy project?

      Is this a generated comment?

        For math.stackexchange.com which uses MathJax, I use MacDown, a markdown editor with parallel windows, one showing the MathJax and the other (in real time) the rendered math. I find it essential.

        I enter my math directly into the editor without writing anything on paper. Works for me. The ability to copy and paste is invaluable.

    It'd be nice if there was a live demo without needing to clone the repo. Though I suppose I could just try it out with a bookmarklet:

        javascript:import('https://esm.sh/writemark-editor').then(() => document.body.append(document.createElement('writemark-editor')))

    How can it be defined dependency free if it depends on Node.js?

    • chronicler 10 hours ago ago

      it needs an operating system to run omg not dependency free

      • teo_zero 3 hours ago ago

        LOL, and an internet connection, too!

        But, seriously, of course "web" requires internet and a computer and an operating system. But since when "web" also means Node.js?

        If a web component is advertized as dependency free, I expect something that I can include in a <script> tag and it works. Am I wrong?

          i mean fwiw can prolly include direct script tag using something like https://esm.sh

        Does this operating system also depend on an underlying computer?

          You're free to just step through the assembly manually. You might need some paper and a pen.

          • stevesajeev 6 hours ago ago

            It ain't dependency free, if you need pen and paper.

    • _boffin_ 12 hours ago ago

      Dependency-free means zero runtime dependencies, not no dev tools. Could have explained that better.

      • teo_zero 12 hours ago ago

        Do you mean I don't need Node.js on the machine where I run it?

        • jjice 12 hours ago ago

          It's a web component so you run it in the browser without dependencies after it's already been built with Node.

          • _boffin_ 12 hours ago ago

            Doesn’t need to be built by node. It’s standalone.
