## What it is
ByteMD (formerly HashMD) is a hackable Markdown editor and viewer component library built in TypeScript with Svelte. It provides a modular, plugin-based editor that can be embedded in web applications.

## Use cases
- embed a markdown editor in a web app
- render markdown content in the browser
- build a blog post editor with live preview
- add a comment box with markdown support
- customize a markdown editor with plugins

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, extensible markdown editor component
- you want framework-agnostic integration with plugin support
- you need both editing and viewing of markdown in the browser

## When to avoid
- you need a full standalone desktop writing app
- you require WYSIWYG rich-text editing rather than markdown source editing
- the project is still marked WIP and APIs may change

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: markdown, editor, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend, text-editors, documentation
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: markdown-editor, markdown-viewer, svelte, wysiwyg, typescript, nodejs
