I built a Markdown format and editor for writing academic papers. Would love feedback.
I’ve been working on Panorama Markdown, a lightweight Markdown dialect for academic papers.
The goal is to keep the writing experience close to standard Markdown, while adding a few things that are hard to do cleanly in plain Markdown:
- YAML front matter for title, authors, abstract, and keywords
- citations and references
- figures and tables
- cross-references
- PDF export
I built it because I wanted a simpler way to write papers and my thesis without jumping straight into a heavier typesetting workflow.
The project is still in early preview, but the spec and editor are already usable:
