I built a visual README editor so developers never have to write markdown from scratch again

Bilal Malik Posted on May 31 I built a visual README editor so developers never have to write markdown from scratch again # webdev # react # javascript # opensource Every developer knows the feeling — you finish a project, push it to GitHub, and then stare at the empty README.md wondering where to even start. So I built ReadmeForge. A block-based visual editor where you drag, drop, fill in content, and download a perfect README in minutes. What it does: You get 11 purpose-built blocks — title, badges, description, features, installation, usage, screenshots, API docs, contributing guide, license, and custom markdown. Drag them to reorder, fill in your content, and the live preview shows exactly what GitHub will render. Tech stack: React + Vite, Tailwind CSS, Zustand (with persist middleware), @dnd-kit for drag-and-drop, marked for markdown rendering, react-syntax-highlighter for code view, deployed on Vercel. What makes it different: No sign-up. No backend. No tracking. Everything is saved locally in your browser using localStorage, keyed by email — so you can have separate workspaces for different projects.
