Hi HN!

This is my little project that I'd consider at an _alpha_ state. The parser is mostly functional but I have a lot of work to do on it, including things like columns/rows which can span beyond their cell!

I hope you like it and if not find it useful, at least find it interesting :)

I debated sharing this and making it perfect but I think it's more fun to launch something that's in the works and get feedback!

Is this open source?

I’ve been thinking of making it open source once it hits a reasonable level of coverage. I don’t see why not, but unsure if there’s interest?

There's always interest, thanks!

I have been reaching for a good way to write, mostly markdown, but I often want to drag images into a document and comment on them. I don't want crazy, I want to save the docs in a simple markdown format that can be processed further for knowledge base and blog.

I would be interested - I’ve been thinking of turning google docs into a solid cms backend for static site generation.
