VS Code's built-in experience is either raw syntax or a read-only preview pane you have to keep open in a split. Neither is great for actually writing.

MEO adds a proper editing mode to VS Code. You get a live/source toggle in a single tab, a floating toolbar for formatting, inline table editing, full-screen Mermaid diagram rendering, a document outline sidebar, and optional auto-save. No new app to switch to, no split pane.

One thing most markdown extensions miss: it preserves VS Code's native diff view, so reviewing git changes in a markdown file still works exactly as expected.

Built on VS Code's webview API.

Happy to answer any questions about it.

I built ShellDock to make setting up and running development tools less painful across different environments.

ShellDock is a lightweight CLI that lets you define and execute curated command sets for installing or configuring tools — think of it like a portable launcher for repeatable dev environment setup.

Instead of copy-pasting long installation scripts or maintaining scattered setup docs across machines, ShellDock allows you to:

- Bundle related setup commands into reusable tool definitions - Run them interactively or non-interactively - Standardize installs across local machines, servers, or fresh VMs - Keep environment setup reproducible for teams

A typical use case would be bootstrapping too
