It sounds simple enough, but to do Markdown right and provide a productive workflow for writing, there are a lot of things that you can do to make the process easier and Markdown Monster is my take on doing that. Markdown Monster is a Windows based Markdown Editor and Weblog Publisher that provides a ton of functionality around the basic process of Markdown editing. A History of Markdown Monster as a Product You can take the latter with a grain of salt, but the discussion of the hows and whys of having source code in the open and how it didn't work out for me might be useful to others who are thinking about doing something similar. In this post I'll talk about the reasons for this action as well as offer some of my thoughts on the state of software today. Markdown Monster is not dead!īut the source code out in the open is now a thing of the past and only available by explicit request in a private repository. Issues will continue to be processed and fixed and new versions will be forthcoming. You can still download Markdown Monster installers and access the Chocolatey, Snap and WinGet packages. The GitHub repository is still there and will continue to be there. With a heavy heart and a lot of hand wringing, I decided last week to take down the Markdown Monster source code from the public GitHub repository due to rampant license abuses.
