Quarkdown is a modern, fast, Markdown-based typesetting system to create papers, presentations, knowledge bases and websites. Write in the markup language you're already familiar with for a flat learning curve, but juice it up with powerful extensions for full control over your documents, and live preview to enter flow state faster. Quarkdown runs on VS Code or your terminal.
I'm the author and project lead of Quarkdown. What started as a simple university research project eventually evolved into a full-fledged typesetting system for writers, developers, and anyone who cares about control.
I've been building open source software for the past 10 years. Making things is what I love the most, and I'm driven by passion for what I do.
If you try it out, please share your feedback! And if not, a star goes a long way ⭐️
