Markdown notes, done right

Markdown notes, done right

A note you can't format is a note you won't reread. Walls of plain text hide the one line you needed. DevStash's Note and Prompt types use a real Markdown editor — a write/preview surface, so you draft in Markdown and see exactly how it'll render.

GFM, where it counts

The editor supports GitHub-Flavored Markdown — the parts developers actually use:

  • Headings to break a note into sections you can skim.
  • Lists and task lists for steps and checklists.
  • Tables for the small comparisons that don't deserve a spreadsheet.
  • Inline code and fenced blocks with syntax highlighting.

Preview before you trust it

Toggle to Preview and you're seeing the same render the detail drawer shows later — no surprises, no broken tables discovered a month after you wrote them.

Formatting isn't decoration. It's the difference between a note you scan in five seconds and one you skip because it's a wall of text.

Write it once, format it so future-you can skim it, and it stays useful long after you've forgotten the details.
