Getting Started
1. Create an account
Sign up at app.markdown.ing. Email and password — no credit card required.
2. Run the CLI
No install needed — npx handles everything:
$ npx mding-cli
On first run, you'll be prompted to log in. The CLI opens your browser for authentication, then saves your session locally.
3. Connect a folder
By default, mding-cli watches the current directory. Point it at any folder:
$ npx mding-cli ~/projects/docs ✓ Connected to markdown.ing ➜ Watching ~/projects/docs (14 files) ➜ Editor ready at https://app.markdown.ing
4. Edit
Open app.markdown.ing in your browser. Your files appear in the sidebar. Changes sync bidirectionally:
- Edit in the browser → file saves to disk
- Edit on disk → browser refreshes instantly
5. Works over SSH too
SSH into any machine and run npx mding-cli. The web editor connects to that
remote session — full rich editing, live preview, and diagrams for files on any server.
you@server $ npx mding-cli ~/config ✓ Connected to markdown.ing # open your browser — editing remote files with full preview
