RoastWriter Markdown Editor (Example)

This is an intentionally long starter document to demonstrate the previewer and exports.

Quick start

• Type on the left, preview on the right
• Use Export → PDF / TXT / HTML / MD
• Autosaves in your browser (localStorage)

A short brief

Goal: turn a rough idea into something readable in ~10 minutes.

Audience: busy people who skim.

Tone: direct, useful, lightly witty.

Write for scanning first, reading second.

Structure patterns

Headline ideas

1. Ship faster without shipping bugs
2. Your writing, but clearer
3. Notes that export cleanly to PDF
4. Stop rewriting the same doc forever

Key points

• Clarity beats cleverness.
• One idea per paragraph.
• Use headings like signposts.
• Prefer short sentences.

Nested lists

• Primary
• Secondary
• Tertiary

Task list

• Draft the idea
• Add headings
• Convert long text into lists
• Add a code sample (if needed)
• Export a PDF for sharing

Example paragraph (longer)

Most documents fail because they try to do too much at once. Start by stating the goal in one sentence, then add just enough structure that someone can skim and still understand the point. If the preview reads well, the export usually does too.

Inline formatting

Use bold for emphasis, italic for nuance, and inline code for exact terms.

Code blocks

type ExportFormat = "md" | "txt" | "html" | "pdf"

export function describeExport(format: ExportFormat) {
  switch (format) {
    case "md":
      return "Keeps Markdown source"
    case "txt":
      return "Plain text for copy/paste"
    case "html":
      return "A standalone web document"
    case "pdf":
      return "Great for sharing and printing"
  }
}

# Suggested workflow
write -> preview -> export

Notes

This editor is minimal on purpose: fast to write, easy to export. Replace this content with your own and you’re good to go.
