Markdown on Ice
Rich Tabor and Jeffrey Carandang have announced the release of Iceberg, which describes itself as a “beautiful, flexible writing editor for crafting posts with the WordPress block editor.” In other words, install the plugin and open the block editor to bring up a minimalist authoring environment that supports Markdown. 🐧
The Iceberg website has a live demo you can try, but if you want to see it being in WordPress, Brian Krogsgard posted a video with his thoughts about the Iceberg experience.
Iceberg has three price tiers: single site ($49 USD), unlimited sites ($99 USD), and lifetime ($199 USD). It’s an impressive product, and I wouldn’t be surprised if quite a number of WordPress professionals grab an unlimited license for multiple sites. I’m sure we’ll see some enhancements to Iceberg down the road as well.
