I didn’t plan to build another tool.

It started as one of those “I’ll just do it manually, it’s only a few files” moments.
You know how that ends.

I had a bunch of Markdown docs — notes, drafts, random ideas — and someone asked for them in Word format.
Copy–paste broke formatting.
Export plugins were either bloated, paid, or tried to do way too much.

So I spent an evening hacking together a tiny converter.
No accounts.
No uploads stored.
Just Markdown → Word → done.

At first it was “just for me”.
Then a friend used it.
Then another one.
Then I realized I was opening my own site more than Google Docs.

Now it lives here: markdown-to-word.online

I don’t promote it. I don’t track users.
It just… exists. Like a quiet side project that solved a very specific annoyance.

Funny how the smallest tools are the ones you end up using every week.

Anyway, back to ignoring feature requests I never asked for 😅

    This is why I double-check everything and still miss the obvious 😅

    If you offer someone a nice clean markdown doc and they tell you they prefer word, the only reasonable response is to knee them in the balls.
