There are many tools that you type in Markdown text, and it renders it to how it will look.  This tool does the opposite. Create the text much like you would in a word processor, and it generates the Markdown as you go.  You can then save the markdown to a file, or copy and paste it to where you need to use it, like Github, Reddit and many other tools.

(if you know this, jump down to "So why use WYSIWYG to Markdown?" below

Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax. Markdown is designed to be as easy-to-read and easy-to-write as possible. 

Markdown is used extensively for:

• Blogging and Publishing: Many blogging platforms and static site generators support Markdown.

• Documentation: Technical documentation is often written in Markdown, especially for software projects (e.g., README.md files).

• Note-Taking: Its simplicity makes it ideal for quick and organized note-taking.

• Messaging and Collaboration: Many chat apps, forums, and collaboration tools (like Slack, Discord, and GitHub) support basic Markdown to format messages.

Markdown seems pretty simple, right?  But it can get more complicated. And there can be a lot of codes to memorize, or constantly refer to a cheat sheet as you write.  What if you only use Markdown occasionally?  That is why this tool was developed.
