StackEdit is a great place to write markdown with cloud sync. Draftmark is where you share it — a hosted link with inline comments, review tracking, and an API for humans and AI agents.

You want a powerful personal editor with live preview and cloud sync to Drive, Dropbox, or GitHub. It's an excellent writing surface.
You need someone to read and comment. Share a link, get inline feedback anchored to specific lines, and track when review is done.
A full REST API and CLI. Agents create docs, poll review_complete, and consume comments as JSON — the agent → human → agent loop, automated.
Public docs are open to anyone with the link — no sign-up wall between your reviewer and the feedback you need.
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.
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.
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.
