Hey all. We built one of the best markdown UX into Phoenix Code Editor(Adobe Brackets++ from the old days). It can:

* Directly edit the md rendered page in WYSIWYG mode.

* We can paste webpage content into the MD editor and it'll paste as formatted markdown!

* Paste tables from Excel Google Sheets etc to Markdown tables.

* Paste images directly, instead of the upload image to where and paste url workflows that makes adding images in markdown a pain.

* Code view and the md preview synced with scroll, selections and cursor.

And it is box standard Markdown, no proprietary extensions.

Hope you find it useful!

Re:Edit Markdown like editing a Word document on Monday July 06, 2026 @05:04AM (#48802302)
Just try it out in phcode.dev web editor. It has a proper table editing UI.

Images are uploaded to its own CDN, so we just need to copy paste images like in word any editor.

Also has 2 way sync between code view and the markdown editor/preview.

This is one cool update. Instead of going though playwright or other tools to , having claude always get that there is a live preview and it can debug the live page seriously reduces why is my layout looking odd kind of bugs. Saves a lot of manual to and fro debugging.
