Milkdown is a plugin-driven framework for building WYSIWYG markdown editors, built on ProseMirror and Remark. It is headless, themeable, and supports real-time collaborative editing via Y.js.
Use cases
- embed a wysiwyg markdown editor in a web app
- build a custom rich text editor for markdown
- add collaborative markdown editing with multiple users
- create a headless markdown editor with custom styling
- replace a plain textarea with a live markdown editor
- build a documentation editor with GFM support
When to choose
- you need a customizable, plugin-based markdown editor in a TypeScript/JavaScript app
- you want headless styling control or real-time collaboration via Y.js
- you want ProseMirror power without building from scratch
When to avoid
- you need a standalone desktop markdown app rather than an embeddable editor
- you need a simple non-WYSIWYG markdown preview
- your project is not JavaScript/TypeScript based
