Quarkdown
Markdown with superpowers — spend your time writing.
Quarkdown is an open-source, Markdown-based typesetting system that lets users create papers, presentations, knowledge bases, and static websites from a single unified tool. It extends Markdown with scripting capabilities, live preview, and multiple document types to replace tools like LaTeX, Notion, Obsidian, and GitBook. It also supports AI agent integration with built-in skills for automated document generation.
Users write in an extended Markdown syntax with scripting capabilities, and Quarkdown compiles it into various document types (paged, plain, docs, slides) with live reactive preview.
