Markdown Editor with Chat

A lightweight, self-contained markdown editor that serves files from a local directory with optional OpenClaw gateway chat integration.

Features

• Filesystem-based: Point to any directory containing markdown files
• No database: Files are the source of truth
• Folder navigation: Browse nested directories
• Live preview: See rendered markdown as you type
• Optional chat: Connect to OpenClaw gateway for AI assistance
• Zero external dependencies: Pure Node.js, self-contained HTML

Quick Start

# Start with CLI arguments (recommended)
node scripts/server.mjs --folder /path/to/markdown --port 3333

# Or short form
node scripts/server.mjs -f /path/to/markdown -p 3333

# With gateway chat enabled (via env vars)
export OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_URL=http://127.0.0.1:18789
export OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN=your-token
node scripts/server.mjs -f /path/to/markdown

Then open http://localhost:3333 in your browser.

CLI Arguments

*Required unless MARKDOWN_DIR env var is set.

Environment Variables (fallback)

CLI arguments take precedence over environment variables.

Security

• Localhost only by default: Server binds to 127.0.0.1, rejects public IPs
• Same-origin only: No CORS headers, browser enforces same-origin policy
• Path traversal protection: Cannot access files outside MARKDOWN_DIR
• No credentials in code: All secrets via environment variables
• Gateway proxy: Tokens never exposed to browser

This is a local development tool. The API is intentionally simple (no auth) because it's designed for localhost use on directories you control.
