I've been writing a README file for GitHub lately and I found out that there is no markup preview for *.rdoc files.
So I've made this one. It supports most popular markups and looks the same as on github.
I would appreciate any feedback or advices.
I think it would be cool if it hits google top 10 for a query like 'github markup preview'. Please share this link so people can find it quickly. Thank You!
Thank you for a feedback. Yeah, I was looking too, and there are several alternatives, but they all are not so useful and only support one or two markups.
Very useful tool, didn't know about it. Thank you.
But it is a little bit complex. I mean, if I am writing a brief description for my repo, I would google for something where I can do it instantly, I don't want to install any gems.
Wow, I really, really like it. Provide options to open (upload), save and 'export as html' (with embedded CSS or at least a proper link to a stylesheet hosted somewhere) and I think you have a winner.
You'd be on par with tools like 'Marked', that have the annoying habit of being Lion+ apps for no apparent good reason.
Edit: BTW, I think you are doing your app a diservice by calling it "Github Markup preview". It's actually way more than that.
