Welcome to MarkDrop — The Ultimate Markdown Guide & Example 🚀#

Welcome to MarkDrop, your ultra-fast, minimalist, cloud-powered Markdown publishing platform and pastebin! This document is an interactive example note designed to demonstrate all capabilities, formatting syntax, and workflow features available to you.

⚡ How to Use MarkDrop#

Writing and publishing on MarkDrop takes less than 30 seconds. Here is the step-by-step workflow:

1. Compose in the Editor: Go to the homepage (md.jcnino.dev) and start writing. Use the Text tab to write Markdown, or the Preview tab to see your formatting rendered in real-time.
2. Choose a Custom Link (Slug): Under Custom Link, enter a unique path (like /my-notes or /project-roadmap). If you leave it empty, the platform will auto-generate a random short code for you.
3. Set an Edit Password (Optional): Choose a private edit code so only you (or people you share the code with) can edit the note in the future.
4. Publish & Share: Click Publish Note or press ⌘ + Enter (Ctrl + Enter). Your note is instantly live on the global Edge CDN!
5. View Raw Plain-Text: Want raw Markdown for terminal scripts or AI tools? Append /raw to any URL (e.g. md.jcnino.dev/welcome/raw).

📑 Dynamic Table of Contents & Outline#

Notice the Document Outline sidebar? MarkDrop automatically scans all headings (#, ##, ###) in your document to construct an interactive Table of Contents.

• Scrollspy Tracking: As you scroll through the article, the outline highlights your current reading position.
• Direct Anchor Links: Click any item in the outline to jump smoothly to that section.
• Shareable Heading Links: Hover over any heading and click the # symbol to copy a direct link to that exact section.

  views: number;
}

async function fetchNote(slug: string): Promise<NoteResponse> {
  const res = await fetch(`https://md.jcnino.dev/api/paste?slug=${slug}`);
  if (!res.ok) throw new Error('Note not found');
  return res.json();
}

console.log('MarkDrop is ready!');
