There is no server code. Is that so simple? Yes!\n\nUsage\n----\n\n* CTRL + D: Toggle display mode\n\n* CTRL + P: Print or export as PDF\n\n* CTRL + S: Save source code as .MD file\n\nand a few other commands (change font, etc.) that can be found in:\n\n* CTRL+SHIFT+H or `?` bottom-left icon: Show help\n\n\nWhy another Markdown editor? Why not just use StackEdit?\n----\nThere are many online editors that support Markdown but:\n\n* half of them don't support LaTeX / MathJax (for math formulas)\n* some of them do, but have a **1-sec delay between keypress and display**, and I find this annoying, see e.g. [StackEdit](https://stackedit.io)\n* some of them have annoying flickering each time you write new text, once math is present on the page\n* most of them are not minimalist / distraction-free enough for me\n\nThat's why I decided to make **Writing**:\n\n* open-source\n* no server needed, you can run it offline\n* fast rendering (no delay when writing / no flickering of math equations)\n* **just what you need: write, preview, save the code, print or save as PDF, and nothing else**\n* LPWP website, a.k.a. \"Landing Page=Working Page\", i.e. the first page that you visit on the website is the page *where things actually happen*, that means that there is no annoying welcome page or login page, etc.\n\nAbout\n----\nAuthor: Joseph Ernest ([@JosephErnest](https://twitter.com/JosephErnest))\n\nOther projects: [BigPicture](http://bigpicture.bi), [bigpicture.js](https://github.com/josephernest/bigpicture.js), [AReallyBigPage](https://github.com/josephernest/AReallyBigPage), [SamplerBox](http://www.samplerbox.org), [Void](https://github.com/josephernest/void), [TalkTalkTalk](https://github.com/josephernest/TalkTalkTalk), [sdfgh](https://github.com/josephernest/sdfgh), [RaspFIP](https://github.com/josephernest/RaspFIP/), [Yopp](https://github.com/josephernest/Yopp), etc.\n\nSponsoring and consulting\n----\n\nI am available for Python, Data science, ML, Automation consulting.
