PanQuake: Cross-Platform Markdown Editor

Open-source, cross-platform Markdown editor with live previews and exporting capabilities

What is PanQuake?

PanQuake is an open-source Markdown editor for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. It provides a simple, clean interface for writing in Markdown format, allowing you to focus on your content instead of application menus and buttons.

One of the standout features of PanQuake is the live preview pane, which renders your Markdown document into HTML as you type. This makes it easy to see how your formatted headers, links, lists and other elements will look without having to export the file.

For basic formatting, PanQuake supports both Markdown syntax and shorthand buttons for things like bold, italics, links and lists. More advanced users can take advantage of Markdown's capabilities for embedding images, creating tables and even mathematical equations.

PanQuake saves all documents in plain text Markdown by default for portability, but also allows exporting to HTML or PDF once finished. The PDF export provides an easy way to share more polished and printable versions of your documents. PanQuake can also publish single files or groups of Markdown files into customized static websites.

As an open-source application, PanQuake is extensible via a plugin framework and also benefits from independent user-contributed themes and customization options beyond the defaults. It's frequently updated by the development team with new features based on user feedback.

Overall, PanQuake balances simplicity and power for efficient Markdown-based writing. Its flexibility through Markdown and exporting options make it suitable for everything from taking notes to authoring detailed reports, books and websites.
