[#42]

Choose Draftmark when…

You need someone to read and comment. Share a link, get inline feedback anchored to specific lines, and track when review is done.

[api]

Built for agents

A full REST API and CLI. Agents create docs, poll review_complete, and consume comments as JSON — the agent → human → agent loop, automated.

No account for readers

Public docs are open to anyone with the link — no sign-up wall between your reviewer and the feedback you need.

Is Draftmark a StackEdit alternative?

They overlap but solve different problems. StackEdit is a rich in-browser markdown editor that syncs to Google Drive, Dropbox, and GitHub. Draftmark is about the step after writing: publishing a doc to a link and collecting structured feedback — inline comments, reactions, and review tracking — from humans or AI agents.

Does StackEdit sync to cloud storage and Draftmark doesn't?

Correct. StackEdit's strength is editing with cloud sync to Drive, Dropbox, and GitHub. Draftmark stores the doc and gives you a hosted share link plus a review API instead.

Can AI agents use Draftmark programmatically?

Yes. Draftmark has a full REST API and a CLI (npm install -g draftmark): agents create docs, poll review status, and read comments as JSON. StackEdit has no comparable review API.

Writing is the easy part.
Getting reviewed is the hard part.
