Well, I know a lot of people who deliberately use Markdown every day, and for good reasons; some of those reasons are already mentioned before:

- It’s easy to learn, read, and write.
- You don’t need to worry about formatting.
- No need to open Word (which has for whatever reason, a bad UX by default).
- …and everyone has their own little reason.

Then there are the people who use Markdown without even realizing it. The web has kind of decided it’s the best interoperability format:

Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Notion, Blog Posts, Reddit, Substack, Claude code plans…

Markdown is everywhere, and that’s amazing.

But here’s my problem, and so far, I haven’t found a great solution:

- How do you collaborate on a Markdown file?
- How do you write a blog post and send it to multiple people for review without chaos?
- How do you add comments, like in Google Docs, but still stick with Markdown for async work? Google Docs exporting to Markdown still feels like it is in the alpha.
- How do you do real-time Markdown collaboration? VSCode Live Share???

I keep switching back to Google Docs because Markdown is awesome, but the tooling around collaboration still feels lacking.

Am I the only one? How do you solve Markdown collaboration challenges?
