Hey Gang πŸ‘‹, This is a project I started building for my website the DevDojo. I sent a tweet about this new editor I was working on and it got over 500 likes 🀯 That set things in motion and I quickly slapped together a landing page and captured emails πŸ“¬. It also got nearly 500 sign-ups. It was settled. I set out to enhance, tweak, and fine tune this component so that way it can easily be installed into a new or existing Tallstack application. This way fellow tall-stack developers can add an advanced markdown editor to their application πŸ€“. It was so extremely fun to build and I'm so excited about the future of it and all the cool things we can build with it πŸš€

@tony_lea4 Congrats Tony. I'm a bit confused now. Can it be used also for free or is it a fully premium product and requires subscription?
Tony Lea
@csaba_kissi Thanks man! Sorry for the confusion, so I actually had a lite version of the editor; however, I decided against that last minute. Making this available primarily with a subscription on my site https://devdojo.com/pro will allow me to spend more time improving it and building more features. I need to change the PH listing to show that there are no free options available (however, you can demo it for free on the site). Thanks for the comment and let me know if you have any other questions. Appreciate it πŸ˜‰
Csaba Kissi
@tony_lea4 Ok thanks Tony! I would personally more likely to buy it once with an one year of update included. Because over time it gets extremely overpriced for me. I don't know actually how the pro subscription works. Does it mean that when I stop paying subscription it will stop working on my site?

Building a text editor is so daunting and so much fun. I did it for my old app, Graphite Docs, but this is so so much better than anything I’ve built. Nice work!
Tony Lea
@jehunter5811 Thanks Justin! It's definitely a journey into the unknown but a lot of fun. There are so many native things I didn't know that a textarea could do. Appreciate the comment!

Looks excellent, but the download link doesnt work, it simply shows a modal that links to devdojo pro subscription. I really want to try MarkdownX out, but it's bizarrely complicated to a) download and b) buy the product. Is it really $15 per month for a markdown editor?
Nick Noble
Is this related / does this use MDX or is it just confusingly named? https://mdxjs.com/
Tony Lea
@nickisnoble Completely unrelated, just a rad name 😁, didn't know about mdxjs before, but it looks cool 😎
Michael Andreuzza
It looks stunning Tony, dang! Congrats.

Tony Lea
@saviomartin Thanks Savio! You're doing some amazing things as well! I guess that means that we are both Geeks at heart πŸ€“
Jay Janarthanan
Cant we try it out with out upgrading to a pro account ?
Tony Lea
@jay_janarthanan1 You can try it out if you sign up for a free account on the DevDojo πŸ‘, it's the editor that we are using for our site as well πŸ˜‰
Chris Sev

Tony Lea
@bobbyiliev_ Thanks dude! I know, so many cool stuff coming out of the Laravel Eco-system. Livewire, Alpine, Tailwind, just too good 😹

Tony Lea
@abhijay_jain Thanks man! Really appreciate that. Can't wait to show some of the future plans for this editor πŸ˜‰
Chris Tietgen
Not a fan of being required to signup just to see a demo of the product.
Tony Lea
@slackerking Sorry man πŸ™ƒ, there were so many things that I was trying to wrap up and get this out the door. That's just the way it ended up happening. Perhaps I'll have a live demo right on the page soon. Thanks for the comment πŸ˜‰
Nick Gor
Just πŸ‘

Make an option to split screen between editor and preview to be rendered in real-time.
Aung Khant Myo
It looks good. Let me try demo first. I hope it would be a replacement for current MD editors.
Jan Brya
Wow, Will give it a shot
