The Lens
By Erik Loyd, SaaS CEO and former COO/CFO of an AWS Premier Partner.
Updated Sep 2026
Arya (the repo is markdown-online-editor) handles the Markdown things most editors punt on: flowcharts, Gantt charts, sequence diagrams, ECharts graphs, and sheet music, all from fenced code blocks. Paste HTML and it converts to Markdown on the way in. Flip a setting and Reveal.js turns the document into a slide deck. Export lands as PDF, PNG, JPEG, or Word. MIT, and the hosted version is free with no account.
Self-hosting is about as easy as it gets, because there is no backend. It is a static build, so a Docker image, Cloudflare Pages, or GitHub Pages all work, and the Docker route is a single command. Documents live in the browser's local storage, which means nothing leaves your machine and also that there is no sync.
Solo writers and note-takers: free either way, hosted or self-hosted. Teams: this is a single-player editor with no collaboration, so pair it with something else for shared docs.
The catch: it is built on Vue 2, and the build still pins Node to 16 or 17 and needs the openssl-legacy-provider flag to compile. It is actively maintained, but you are running a frontend on a framework the ecosystem moved past. The interface is also Chinese only, with no translation layer in the codebase.
Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid
fully freeFree
Everything, both ways. The hosted editor at markdown.lovejade.cn needs no account. The source is MIT and carries the full feature set: WYSIWYG, instant-render and split-pane modes, flowcharts, Gantt and sequence diagrams, task lists, ECharts, sheet music, Reveal.js slide preview, HTML-to-Markdown paste conversion, local file import, and export to PDF, PNG, JPEG, and Word.
Self-Hosted
There is no server component, which makes this unusually cheap to run. Options are the published Docker image (docker run -d -p 8866:80 nicejade/markdown-online-editor:latest) or building the static dist output and dropping it on Cloudflare Pages or GitHub Pages for nothing. Document storage is browser local storage, so there is no database to back up and no user accounts to manage. Building from source needs Node 16 or 17 and the openssl-legacy-provider flag.
Paid
None. No hosted pro tier, no license upgrade, no feature gates anywhere.
The Math
Paid Markdown editors mostly sell polish and a native app for a one-time fee. Arya's real advantage is deployment: a static build on Cloudflare Pages costs nothing and gives a whole team the same editor at one URL, with no per-seat pricing to grow into.
Verdict
Free, self-hostable for zero dollars, and feature-complete. The dated frontend stack and the Chinese-only interface are the price.
Fully free and MIT with no paid tier. Static hosting costs nothing; the tradeoffs are an aging Vue 2 stack and a Chinese-only UI.
What to do by team size
- Solo
- free; hosted or self-hosted, both are complete
- Small team
- free; drop the static build on Cloudflare Pages and share one URL
- Medium team
- free, but with no sync or collaboration it complements a shared docs tool rather than replacing one
- Large team
- free to host, though a Chinese-only UI on Vue 2 is a hard sell as a company standard
