Node-Webkit Markdown Editor

July 8, 2020 ยท View on GitHub

A very simple Markdown editor created with Node Webkit. This code is part of a tutorial: https://ducode.org/posts/node-webkit-nw-js-tutorial-creating-a-markdown-editor/. The code is released under the MIT license, so do what you want with the code.

The editor is more a stub than a complete Markdown editor. Use this as a base for your own Markdown editor.

Installation

  1. Obviously, download the code to your favourite location.
  2. With the command line, go to the folder and run npm install. This will install the dependencies for the editor.
  3. From http://nwjs.io/, download the right version of Node-Webkit and extract the contents to the folder.
  4. Voila, you're done. You might want to read something about packaging and distributing Node-Webkit apps.
