2025 is the year of Markdown. Avo built Marksmith Markdown editor for Rails

The age of Markdown #

In late 2024, Microsoft released microsoft/markitdown, a tool for converting files and office documents to Markdown.

PlanetScale uses MARKDOWN for its’ marketing pages.

Also my friend Jeremy Smith built Liminal Forum that features a custom markdown editor.

At Rails World 2024 DHH teased House (MD), a new markdown editor for Rails.

Sneek peak:

Marksmith by Avo #

Nobody knows when House (MD) will actually be released, but in the meantime Avo built Marksmith, a markdown editor for Rails.

I plan to integrate it into SupeRails soon.
