#2Cool. Perhaps add revisions too to avoid losing all work when shared.

Good idea, I will look at adding revisions. Thanks for your comments

#4This is going to be very useful! Keep it up. I will be using this on and off so how can I contact you in case of bugs? Is this open source?

#5Looks great, perhaps add a preview button instead of editing the url? Hard for mobile users.

#6Does it support a 400k* word text file without slowing down to a crawl (i.e. a 5-10 second lag between a keypress and a change)? I've tried many markdown editors for my novel, and sadly most editors fail this very basic test :(
* Edit: I misread the output of wc. The novel is ~70k words, ~400k characters. Leaving the 400k figure above because of the discussion that follows, because it should still be a reasonable use case, and because it makes even more surprising that most editors fail this even more basic test.

Is a 400 thousand word text file "very basic"?

No, the "very basic test" is not having a 10 second latency in a text editor. Come on, this was a solved problem in the 90s.

#9In the File dropdown the "Toggle Preview" and "Toggle Editor" buttons seem to be swapped but otherwise this looks pretty cool!
