This project originally started as a simple app to practice working with NPM.
I took some notes with the Bear app for macOS. But the option to convert to HTML was behind a paywall. And so what was a basic nothing app turned into a tool for converting my markdown notes to HTML.
Thanks to this fantastic blog post by James Edwards, I was able to do that in a few hours.
- typescript
- markdown-it
- highlight.js
- fs-extra
- live-server (instead of http server)
- babel
This was my first time working with markdown-it and highlight.js. These two modules did most of the heavy lifting for this app. I'm excited to see what else I can use them for.
- Convert markdown document to HTML
- Render HTML in browser with live-server
- Pass file path(s) as an input
- Convert to Word doc
- Convert to PDF
