Frontend Mentor challenges help you improve your coding skills by building realistic projects. These challenges are perfect portfolio pieces, so please feel free to use what you create in your portfolio to show others.
To do this challenge, you need a strong understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Your challenge is to build out this in-browser markdown editor and get it looking as close to the design as possible.
You can use any tools you like to help you complete the challenge. So if you've got something you'd like to practice, feel free to give it a go.
We provide the data in a local data.json
file, so use that to populate the content on the first load. If you want to take it up a notch, feel free to build this as a full-stack CRUD application!
Your users should be able to:
- Create, Read, Update, and Delete markdown documents
- Name and save documents to be accessed as needed
- Edit the markdown of a document and see the formatted preview of the content
- View a full-page preview of the formatted content
- View the optimal layout for the app depending on their device's screen size
- See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
- Bonus: If you're building a purely front-end project, use localStorage to save the current state in the browser that persists when the browser is refreshed
- Bonus: Build this project as a full-stack application

Your task is to build out the project to the design file provided. We provide both Sketch and Figma versions of the design, so you can choose which tool you prefer to use. You can download the design file on the platform. Please be sure not to share them with anyone else. The design download comes with a README.md
file as well to help you get set up.
All the required assets for this project are in the /assets
folder. The assets are already exported for the correct screen size and optimized. Some images are reusable at multiple screen sizes. So if you don't see an image in a specific folder, it will typically be in another folder for that page.
The design system in the design file will give you more information about the various colors, fonts, and styles used in this project. Our fonts always come from Google Fonts.
As mentioned above, there are many ways to host your project for free. Our recommend hosts are:
You can host your site using one of these solutions or any of our other trusted providers. Read more about our recommended and trusted hosts.
We strongly recommend overwriting this README.md
with a custom one. We've provided a template inside the README-template.md
file in this starter code.
The template provides a guide for what to add. A custom README
will help you explain your project and reflect on your learnings. Please feel free to edit our template as much as you like.
Once you've added your information to the template, delete this file and rename the README-template.md
file to README.md
. That will make it show up as your repository's README file.
Submit your solution on the platform for the rest of the community to see. Follow our "Complete guide to submitting solutions" for tips on how to do this.
Remember, if you're looking for feedback on your solution, be sure to ask questions when submitting it. The more specific and detailed you are with your questions, the higher the chance you'll get valuable feedback from the community.
There are multiple places you can share your solution:
- Share your solution page in the #finished-projects channel of the Slack community.
- Tweet @frontendmentor and mention @frontendmentor, including the repo and live URLs in the tweet. We'd love to take a look at what you've built and help share it around.
- Share your solution on other social channels like LinkedIn.
- Blog about your experience building your project. Writing about your workflow, technical choices, and talking through your code is a brilliant way to reinforce what you've learned. Great platforms to write on are dev.to, Hashnode, and CodeNewbie.
We provide templates to help you share your solution once you've submitted it on the platform. Please do edit them and include specific questions when you're looking for feedback.
The more specific you are with your questions the more likely it is that another member of the community will give you feedback.
We love receiving feedback! We're always looking to improve our challenges and our platform. So if you have anything you'd like to mention, please email hi[at]frontendmentor[dot]io.
Have fun building! ๐
