If you're building a Vue 3 app and need a Markdown editor component — for a blog, CMS, documentation tool, or anywhere users write formatted text — md-editor-v3 gives you a split-pane editor with preview, toolbar, and syntax highlighting out of the box. Drop it into your Vue app and you have a working editor in minutes. 2.4K stars, MIT license, TypeScript, growing at +11/week. Features include live preview, table editing, code block syntax highlighting, emoji picker, image upload hooks, Mermaid diagram support, KaTeX math rendering, and customizable toolbars. Also supports React via a companion library (md-editor-rt). Dark mode included. Fully free. No paid tier, no premium features. Everything — all toolbar options, all rendering modes, all plugins — is included. Solo to large teams: free. It's a component library, not a service. Your only decision is whether it fits your needs. The catch: this is a Vue-first library. The React port exists but has fewer stars and less community attention. If you're on React, there are more mature options (Tiptap, Milkdown, react-md-editor). Also, the documentation is partially in Chinese — the English docs are functional but not comprehensive. If you hit an edge case, you might be reading source code.
