✨ Why Markdown for Humans?

Writer-First, Human-First

Markdown for Humans is built on a simple belief: writing should feel natural, not technical. You shouldn't need to memorize syntax, dig through command palettes, or fight with your tools. You should just write.

We bring true WYSIWYG editing directly into VS Code with a human-first design philosophy:

  • Persistent formatting bar β€” See your options, click what you need. No hunting through menus.
  • Floating shortcuts β€” Actions appear where you need them, when you need them
  • No command palette overload β€” We keep actions visible and accessible
  • No context switching β€” Everything you need is right there

100% Free

πŸ“Œ Note: 100% free. No trials. No limits. No paywalls, ever.
