About Milkdown
Milkdown is a plugin-driven framework for building WYSIWYG Markdown editors. You edit visually, and the content stays in Markdown format.
What it does
Milkdown is built on ProseMirror, Y.js and Remark. Syntax, themes and interface pieces are all plugins, so you assemble the editor you need. Real-time collaboration is supported through Y.js. The editor ships with no CSS, so you can style it to match your app.
Key features
- Everything is a plugin, including syntax and themes
- Real-time collaborative editing with Y.js
- Headless, with no built-in CSS
- Built on ProseMirror and Remark
- Online playground to try the editor
Who it's for
Developers building documentation sites, note tools or content editors that need Markdown output and a custom look.
Pricing and good to know
Milkdown is open source under the MIT license and free to use. Because it is headless, you will add styles and toolbars yourself. Its plugin model is powerful, but it takes some time to learn how the pieces fit together.
