Why

Most "Markdown to PDF" tools rasterise the page or route it through a server. QUIRE lays the document out itself and writes a proper PDF in the browser, so the output stays light, searchable and private.

02 / Details

What it actually does.

  • 01

    Live preview

    Write on the left, read the typeset result on the right. Split, write-only and read-only modes.

  • 02

    Real PDF export

    Exports selectable, searchable text with working links rather than a screenshot of the page.

  • 03

    Local autosave

    Drafts persist in the browser. Nothing is uploaded.

03 / Stack

Built with.

A React 19 application built with Vite and Tailwind CSS. Everything runs in the browser; the build is a static folder deployed to Vercel on its own subdomain.
