What’s new in version 1.0?
Light Markdown Editor is a live editor for typing Markdown with a live preview in Google Chrome.
lightmd does not rely on a backend. It does not send the content to any external server.
lightmd is designed to be lightweight, not feature rich, while still providing some flexibility as a scratchpad.
Preview supports three styles, None (browser default rendering), Github (inspired), and a custom lightmd style (seen in screenshot).
lightmd allows for export to .md, HTML, and printing directly from the preview frame (must hit the Print button, not Ctrl+P).
The extension stores your content while you type in the browsers local storage. It has 4 "slots" which can be swapped between as you wish.
NB! Wiping browser local storage will wipe the contents stored in these editors!
lightmd uses a JavaScript library for converting Markdown to HTML (markdown-js), which has some limitations. It only supports basic Markdown and does not support inline HTML.
lightmd is open source and available on GitHub: https://github.com/jorgenys/lightmd

Reviews of light markdown editor:
Hasn't had an update in years but still works fine, and does what it says. I know it's meant to be lightweight, but any chance of syncing the notes with Dropbox or Nextcloud?
Looks great to me. I'll use it to keep random notes in my browser and to write an MD file on occasion.
It's ok, but not support ''' syntax, which used to mark multi-line text as code.
