    Help Us Decide: What’s Your Ideal Markdown Writing Experience?

    Daily.dev is seeking community feedback on two markdown writing interface options for their post creation feature. Option 1 offers live markdown rendering where formatting appears as you type, providing an all-in-one view without tab switching. Option 2 uses separate write and preview tabs, offering a cleaner writing space but requiring manual preview switching. The team wants user input to determine which approach better suits developers' writing preferences.
