## What it is
A React markdown editor component with live preview, written in TypeScript. It provides a textarea-based editing experience with rendered markdown output.

## Use cases
- add a markdown editor to a react app
- edit markdown with live preview in the browser
- let users write documentation in a react form
- build a blog post composer with markdown support
- replace a plain textarea with a markdown editor

## When to choose
- you need a drop-in React markdown editor with preview
- your stack is React/TypeScript and you want an MIT-licensed component

## When to avoid
- you need a non-React framework like Vue or Svelte
- you need a full WYSIWYG rich-text editor rather than markdown source editing

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: editor, ui-components, markdown
- domain: frontend, web-development, text-editors, documentation
- platform: cross-platform
