Fortunately the MIT license chosen by the author is really permissive. I’ll probably try to contact the original author to discuss a solution if and when those new features will be ready.

It will be a different direction for the MacDown app so I’m not sure if those features will make sense inside the original app, if they do I’ll try to submit some pull requests. I still haven’t decided how to distribute the app, but surely I’ll develop those new features and release them publicly on GitHub. It would be also interesting to embed Jekyll inside the app bundle to create a self contained solution. I’d also like to support javascript and css editing with syntax highlight, but that’s really an optional feature. Customisable buttons to start and stop Jekyll, generate the production site and deploy 3 it to the remote server.MacDown runs on your computer and renders your Markdown code in real time in. Highlight links in the editor and generally improve the editor view. Code blocks are part of the Markdown spec, but syntax highlighting isnt.

Proper live website preview (not a hack anymore).

I’m really happy with this solution as MacDown already has mostly of the features I need like: ability to hide and show the preview with ⇧⌘H, spell checking (using macOS standard APIs), fullscreen support, scroll sync between editor and preview, custom editor fonts, resizable preview (great to test responsive websites) and quick text search within the document. MacDown also won’t show the internally rendered preview (with custom CSS), but loads the file generated by Jekyll itself from disk with the proper stylesheet,exactly as it will appear and render in production. You can use this to launch MacDown straight from the Terminal.Every second MacDown saves to disk the currently open document so Jekyll generates the new version. MacDown ships with a utility at MacDown.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/macdown.
