WriteUp Application

// NOTE //
Sorry I took more than 3 months to fix WriteUp! Everything is repaired and working! If you still have problems, contact me at [email protected], I'll be glad to help you out! :)

Welcome to WriteUp, a free Markdown editor which is a Chrome app that tastes like GitHub (which uses GitHub Flavored Markdown and regular Markdown). You can visit the web app here: http://bit.ly/writeupeditor

You can download the app or use the web app, which ever is best for you. I made WriteUp because I didn't want to pay for any Markdown editors on the Mac App Store, eventually I found a free app but it only let you see the Markdown files.

// FEATURES //
- Works online and offline - plus WriteUp is entirely free!
- Runs right from the Chrome App Launcher
- Looks pretty with its new minimalistic user interface
- Open and save .md, .markdown, .html, .htm or .txt files!
- Live preview with a side-by-side comparison (Markdown on the left, preview on the right)
- Compiles Markdown straight to HTML

// SOON TO COME //
- options
