A minimalist Markdown notepad. Write in Markdown, preview live, share with a link.

Type Markdown in the editor. Toggle between split view, editor-only, and preview-only. Every note gets a shareable URL.

• Split view (default) — edit on the left, live preview on the right
• Keyboard shortcuts — Ctrl+S save, Ctrl+N new note, Ctrl+P cycle views
• Auto-save — saves as you type
• Light mode per panel — toggle each side independently
