About HackMD
The Markdown workspace for innovationOur mission is to empower developers to share ideas and build community through knowledge sharing.
In 2014, while completing his master's degree, Max Wu was searching for a secure way to collaborate and document in Markdown. Driven by that challenge, he began creating what would later be known as HackMD. Throughout the following years, he introduced it to friends, colleagues, and online communities, quickly gaining traction and the first outside contributions. Today, over a million people around the world depend on HackMD to document in Markdown, increasing the pace of software development through seamless documentation and collaboration. With HackMD, you can focus on what matters most: building and improving world renown projects.
