Building a Real-Time Markdown Editor in React – My Browser Workflow for Managing Context
Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on a simple split-screen real-time Markdown editor (React + marked + LocalStorage + PDF export) as a personal tooling project.
The biggest challenge isn’t the code itself — it’s keeping context across all the tabs: GitHub repo, localhost dev server, docs for marked/split-pane/jsPDF, design references, and console errors.
Here’s the practical browser workflow I’m using right now:
* Named tab sessions so I can instantly restore the entire dev environment
* Persistent clipboard history for every command, snippet, and error log
It’s made a noticeable difference in how quickly I can pick up where I left off.
Would love to hear how other devs manage context when building small tooling/full-stack projects in the browser. Any favorite patterns or tools?
