Overview

The goal of this project is to create an online Markdown editor web service. The concept of the site is to allow users to log in and view/edit their Markdown files.We would make use of a MongoDB database to store users and which files they own. This project would make use of free services such as Amazon S3 bucket or a hook in with Google Drive API. Further down the line, some nice to have features would be LaTeX support, and a PDF generator to download your files as a PDF. The end goal would be a free service that allows a user to create and store Markdown files online.

Core Objectives

• Creating a user login/registration system.
• Allowing users custom use of CSS and Styling their Markdown documents.
• Some pre-set themes would be includes so development of those.
• A file editor and renderer, and a storage for the files done via third party technology.
• Side by side editor and renderer would be the ideal situation.
• Allowing the rendered document to be downloaded as a PDF.

Stretch Objectives

• Multi-user editing with sockets.
• LaTeX support within Markdown.

Usage

• npm run dev: Start the development server w/ hot reload (Webpack & Express)
• npm run prod: Builds the static files and runs in production mode
