Writing · Feature

A fast, calm place to write.

A Markdown-native block editor that feels like a word processor. Slash commands, real keyboard shortcuts, a single accent-colored caret, and zero formatting fights.

Kyoto, days 1–3

We land in Kyoto on the 12th and have three full days before Osaka. The bamboo grove at Arashiyama is best at dawn, Fushimi Inari takes a morning, and the Nishiki food markets are worth a slow afternoon.

  • Reserve the dawn slot at Arashiyama.
  • Pre-book the Nishiki food tour for Saturday.
  • Confirm JR pass exchange at the station

Type / to summon the slash menu. Hit ⌘B for bold. The page just works.

What it actually does.

The pieces of writing that matter, in plain English.

BLOCKS

Real blocks, real Markdown.

Headings, bullets, ordered lists, quotes, code, tables. Every block round-trips to clean Markdown on disk. What you see on screen is what you'll export. No hidden tags, no Word-style formatting cruft.

SHORTCUTS

The shortcuts you already know.

⌘B bold. ⌘I italic. ⌘K link. ⌘Z undo. ⇧⌘Z redo. # heading. - bullet. > quote. ``` code fence. Everything else from the editor you grew up on, with no surprises.

SLASH

Type / to insert anything.

A slash menu opens with every block type, every embed, every command. Arrow keys to navigate, Enter to insert. No mouse, no menus, no hunting through toolbars.

CALM

No interface jumping at you.

No sticky toolbar that follows your selection around. No popup that hides your text. Bubble menu shows up only when you actually select something. The cursor blinks. The page sits still.

Who uses it for what.

Real situations this solves.

Writer

"I draft long-form essays and want the editor to feel like paper, not Office."

Pure prose, soft accent caret, no toolbar floating in your eyeline.

Developer

"I write Markdown all day for READMEs and changelogs."

Real Markdown on disk, real code fences with syntax, real tables, real exports.

PM

"I write briefs that need to look professional in a Word export."

Headings and lists translate cleanly to .docx; no manual restyling on the way out.

Student

"I write essays with citations and quotes."

Blockquotes with accent borders and inline code for refs.

Questions worth asking.

The things people ask before they try it.

Is sweetdocs a Markdown editor or a rich-text editor?
Both. The document is Markdown on disk, but the editor renders it as a real document while you type. You get the simplicity of Markdown with the look of a word processor.
Do I need to learn Markdown syntax to use it?
No. Type / for the slash menu, or use ⌘B / ⌘I / ⌘K like any other editor. Markdown is the format on disk; you never have to look at it unless you want to.
Does it support tables, code blocks, and images?
Yes. Tables with editable cells, code blocks with syntax-aware monospace, inline images that you can resize and align. Drag an image in or paste from your clipboard.
Is there a distraction-free mode?
The default mode is distraction-free. No toolbar follows your selection. The bubble menu only appears when you highlight text, and goes away the moment you move on.
Can I write in plain text without any formatting?
Yes. Open a doc, ignore the slash menu, and just type. The page is empty until you put something in it.
Does the editor work offline?
The editor itself runs in the browser. You can keep typing if your connection drops; we save as soon as you're back online and the cursor returns to where you left it.
Is there a mobile editor?
Yes. The same editor works on mobile and tablet, with a touch-friendly bubble menu and a slash menu accessible from the bottom toolbar.
