I’ve been working on a web-based Markdown editor inspired by tools like Obsidian, focused on structured documentation workflows.
The idea is to explore a browser-based writing environment for:
- documentation
- knowledge bases
- structured Markdown content
- RAG-ready text pipelines
What it includes:
- Live Markdown preview
- Callouts and Mermaid diagrams
- Link-based structured notes
- Obsidian-like writing experience in the browser
- API-first design (docs/api.md for backend integration)
Current status:
- Frontend-only prototype (no database yet)
- No persistence — just live editing/testing in the browser
What I’m trying to validate:
- Is this type of browser-based Markdown editor actually useful?
- Would you use something like this?
- What’s missing for real-world adoption?

Any feedback is appreciated, especially brutally honest takes.

Really solid frontend prototype. The Obsidian‑inspired Markdown workflow works surprisingly well in the browser, and the live preview, callouts, Mermaid diagrams, and link‑based notes are nicely implemented. The codebase is clean and easy to follow, which makes the project approachable for contributors. With persistence, syncing, and possibly a plugin or API layer, this could evolve into a very capable web‑native knowledge base. Great foundation and clear direction.
