I created a canvas-based Markdown table editor, which provides a novel (I think) editing experience. I'd love for people to try it out, or bookmark it for the next time they want to insert a one-off table into a Markdown-formatted comment. My design goals were 1) frictionless user input and 2) fast startup time.

Some good-to-knows:

- Can be used on mobile

- Table data is saved locally to the browser (nothing is sent to a server)

- I only tested this on a MacBook, so let me know if the trackpad calibration feels off

interesting. Instead of blank canvas may be have some sample table it would be easier to start. it took me sometime to figure out how it works.

Bump - probably a table with instructions.

"Edit me by selecting and typing!"

Thank you! Shouldn't be too hard to add some sample table data on first-time load.
