It’s a good idea. You’ll want to support GitHub flavoured markdown as an input, if you don’t already. Be sure to allow an inline <style> so documents can still be customised using code.

I’d also like to have a mode — the default? — where all rendering was being done locally. There are documents I write that just can’t be stored on a third party computer.

Overleaf, to some extent, has shown the appeal for letting people focus on writing 100% of the time and running software 0% of the time. I’d prefer to use your tool though to write a quick letter to go in a parcel as a packing slip.

By the way: on mobile, your animated headline causes the page to jump up and down.
