Simple Markdown

Simple Markdown is simply a Markdown editor :) I wrote it to offer up an open source alternative to the other Markdown editors available on the Play Store. I also wanted to get some practice in creating Android apps and have a little something to put into my portfolio.

Roadmap

Auto-save
Night mode
Save to cloud (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive)
Disable live preview in landscape mode
Disable preview tab for better performance in large files
Custom CSS for Markdown preview
Auto-scroll preview to match edit view in landscape mode
Better insert for tables/images/links
Quick-insert toolbar for common Markdown syntax characters

Building

Using Android Studio is the preferred way to build the project. To build from the command line, you can run

./gradlew assembleDebug

ACRA

SimpleMarkdown makes use of ACRA for crash reports. This requires the presence of the app/acra.properties file for building. For your convenience, a app/acra.properties.sample file has been provided.

Contributing

I'd love any contributions, particularly in improving the existing code. Please just fork the repository, make your changes, squash your commits, and submit a pull request :)
