MdWrk vs VS Code Markdown
Use this comparison when deciding whether Markdown authoring should live in a focused workspace or inside a general code editor.
VS Code is a broad development environment with Markdown capabilities. MdWrk makes Markdown authoring, preview, local-first workspace behavior, themes, and package reuse the center of the product.
| Criteria | MdWrk | VS Code Markdown |
|---|---|---|
| Product focus | Markdown workspace, preview, packages, and extensions are the core surface. | Markdown is one capability inside a general IDE. |
| Local-first story | Browser/PWA workspace behavior and local persistence are explicit. | Local behavior depends on editor setup and extensions. |
| Package adoption | MdWrk documents reusable editor and renderer package surfaces directly. | Extension and editor behavior are tied to the VS Code ecosystem. |
Choose MdWrk when the audience is writing and publishing Markdown rather than primarily editing source code.
