Excellent Online Markdown Editor
When writing readme files for Github repositories, one must use Markdown. Until I found this excellent online markdown editor with a live preview, I failed at quickly putting together basic readme files.
It’s based on WMD, the editor from the Stack Exchange sites.
I’ve found it very helpful, allowing me to create and update Github readme files much more quickly and with less hassle.
