Simple Markdown Parser

A real-time markdown -> HTML parser. The content is always saved in local storage, not on the server.

Technologies used:

▶️ Frontend:

• HTML
• (S)CSS
• JavaScript

◀️ Backend:

• Node.js
• Express
• socket.io
• markdown-it
• Redis (experimental cookie storage, not currently being used in the website)

Local build

1. Install dependencies (nodemon is required to be installed globally): npm install
2. Start RedisDB server: redis-server &
3. Specify RedisDB host and port on db/connection.js
4. Compile SCSS (watching changes): npm run compile
5. Start the server on port 4000: npm run serve

Suggested improvements:

• Add syntax highlighting (:white_check_mark: Added CodeMirror)
• Theme selection (Monokai is the current one) (:white_check_mark: Added CodeMirror themes)
• Style the preview iframe
