What Dillinger does
A modern, cloud-native Markdown editor built on Next.js — designed for speed, focus, and seamless sync.
Features from the README
- Monaco Editor (VS Code core)
- Syntax highlighting for Markdown
- Image paste support
- Real-time preview
- Scroll sync
- Auto-save (local persistence)
- Fullscreen, distraction-free writing
In the project’s own words, excerpted from the README at the reviewed source revision.
Before you install
- Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 13.5 or later
- Internet connection for the initial dependency download
- Cloud sync requires separate OAuth credentials for each provider; basic writing does not use those integrations.
- PDF export uses a server-side Chromium dependency and has not been validated on macOS.
