This is fantastic. I am working on a peer to peer file system sharing tool in the browser. Soon I will add a text messaging component and I want it to support markdown cleanly just like this.

Excellent work

Thanks for the feedback! The markdown editor itself is actually just an open source solution, its not my own creation: https://github.com/Ionaru/easy-markdown-editor

I use the Vue implementation of the above library, which is here: https://github.com/F-loat/vue-simplemde

Are you starting from scratch or building on top of existing libraries? Curious to know because for text editors, there's systems built around CRDTs like automerge and yjs.

I am starting from scratch. All the file system libraries I could need are provided by Node. All the data structures I am having to create just pass messaging which connects user interactions to the structures already in place.
