Who uses Calepin?
Serious writers. Essays, long form journalism, short stories or any kind of ambitious writing needs you to ditch MS Word for Markdown. Writing in plain text using Markdown to denote headlines, emphasis, footnotes and links is the sane way to write human friendly text that is still machine readable. Calepin converts your Markdown files into HTML.
Calepin reads files stored in your Dropbox, so you can edit them with any plain text editor you choose. Storing plain text in Dropbox is a future proof way to keep your best work around forever. Calepin is the easiest way to self publish online.
