I hope this question is suitable for discussing here.

I've been hanging around on PSE, I found the text editor of this site is very good and simple(Markdown+Mathjax). I hope to find an online editor just as PSE, with a preview pane, the syntax is same, support math equations.

I also want that I can save the manuscript on the server and get the sharing links so that I can send it to anyone.

In summary, what I wanted is writing a post on PSE however this post would not bother anyone unless I share the link with them. Because some question may be too specific and no need to be seen to all the people, or maybe sometimes I want to discuss a questions with my friends privately.

I wonder if PSE can offer this feature or anyone know a free online website fits all my requirements?

Try StackEdit, or PageDown. The latter is the open source engine that SE uses, the former is an editor based on SE's flavor of markdown.

  • $\begingroup$ @luming Well, it should be pretty easy to set up a server with markdownsharp and pagedown to do this, but I don't think this exists currently. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @luming StackEdit has a fair bit of sharing capabilities, though you may need to depend on an external hosting like dropbox or google drive. Click on the # button on the top left. $\endgroup$
