#005CreateUtilityLive
A minimal Markdown-to-PDF workspace with live preview.
“We believe writing should be quiet and exporting should be effortless. A writer's tools should disappear — leaving only the words and the page.”
Why we built it
The problem
Markdown is the writer's best friend until it's time to export. Converters mangle formatting, editors force you into their workflow, and getting a clean, print-ready PDF usually means fighting a tool instead of finishing a document.
The idea
Markdown Studio
The creation
We built Markdown Studio as a split workspace: Markdown input on the left, live A4 preview on the right, styled for print from the start. Export is a single click, everything runs in the browser, and nothing you write ever leaves your device.
This creation began as #005 in our idea archive.
Observation
Formatting mangled, workflows imposed.
Idea
Live A4 preview, one-click export.
Creation
Markdown in, clean PDF out — zero uploads.
Release
Live at markdown.100ideas.net.
Write on the left, watch the printed page form on the right.
A clean, typeset PDF the moment you're done.
Everything runs locally in the browser — your writing stays yours.
Yes — free to use, with everything running locally in your browser.
Writers, students and developers who want Markdown to become a clean PDF without a converter war.
Most converters are black boxes that mangle styling. Markdown Studio shows you the exact page as you write and exports it untouched — with zero uploads.
Started as #005 — Markdown Studio
A minimal Markdown-to-PDF workspace with live preview.
Track, organize and showcase your model kit builds.
“We asked: what if your kit collection had a dedicated log — the same care you put into building, applied to tracking? Photos, progress and the whole shelf, organized and proud. That is why we made this.”
Format social posts and clean hashtags in one click.
“We asked: why is posting still this fiddly? A formatter that normalizes line breaks and punctuation, and a hashtag cleaner that tidies the tag wall — that's a tool worth one click, not a subscription. That is why we made this.”
Turn daily intentions into sacred geometric sigils.
“We asked: what if an intention could be drawn? Turn a phrase of intent into a personal geometric sigil — something to look at, focus on, and quietly return to. That is why we made this.”
