Automatically refresh previewed markdown to see changes real time when editing markdown
Problem to solve
Currently, Markdown gets processed and rendered only when the Preview Markdown
tab is clicked in the Web IDE. When we pull out the Markdown preview tab to be side by side with the editor, we should have a way to automatically update the preview so the experience is a real time preview of the changes a user is making.
Intended users
- Parker (Product Manager)
- Delaney (Development Team Lead)
- Sasha (Software Developer)
- Presley (Product Designer)
Really any persona where there is extensive use of markdown, including non-technical professionals.
Proposal
Take away any sort of preview button that causes a manual refresh and replace with realtime previewing. Depending on the implementation, we may be ok with a slight delay of a few seconds in the preview, but our aspiration should be to make it near real time.
