Seems like some people are confused by the design decisions of using React/Svelte/Vue and using it at runtime. The use case I had in mind was LLM interaction, which you can try in the Chat Demo (running a real llm btw!). LLMs require secure, runtime, and minimal DSL to generate interactivity, hence markdown-ui.

Was that the initial motivation?

Sometimes I've made little things that I envision for a specific purpose and then think that use case is only MY intention and in theory could be used more broadly. These are tiny little personal projects I'm thinking about so they never end up getting real feedback. But without a firm alternative use-case I've wondered if it's better to just frame it specifically for the one I have.

yes, that was! and I totally understand what you mean. Whilst building this I've often wondered if other people have totally unrelated use cases for it
