  It'd be nice if there was a live demo without needing to clone the repo. Though I suppose I could just try it out with a bookmarklet:

      javascript:import('https://esm.sh/writemark-editor').then(() => document.body.append(document.createElement('writemark-editor')))

  Inline editing is underrated. Being able to see mistakes instantly cuts down a lot of the trial‑and‑error debugging in Markdown-heavy projects.

  How can it be defined dependency free if it depends on Node.js?

    Dependency-free means zero runtime dependencies, not no dev tools. Could have explained that better.

      Do you mean I don't need Node.js on the machine where I run it?

        It's a web component so you run it in the browser without dependencies after it's already been built with Node.

          Doesn’t need to be built by node. It’s standalone.

      Does this operating system also depend on an underlying computer?

        You're free to just step through the assembly manually. You might need some paper and a pen.
