Markdown Support

[Root-FTW]

I was about to subscribe to Lynote’s monthly plan, but while testing the free version, I noticed that when I insert structured text in Markdown (.md), the Humanizer completely removes all of the Markdown formatting and structure. I also noticed that you don’t currently offer an API.

I generate content at scale for my local news website — usually between 12 and 24 articles per day, sometimes less or more depending on the day. Without an API, I can still handle the process manually, article by article, but losing the Markdown structure breaks my entire workflow.

Do you have any plans to support Markdown in the future, or to make an API available?

Hi there,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your workflow and needs in such detail — this is incredibly valuable to us.

We completely understand that for a local news site producing 12–24 articles per day, automation and format integrity aren’t just nice-to-haves; they’re essential. The two points you raised are exactly where we’re focusing our current development efforts:

1. Markdown format preservation
   You’re absolutely right — at the moment, the Humanizer strips all Markdown structure and formatting, including from .md files. We’ve logged this as a high-priority improvement, and we will implement full Markdown preservation in a future iteration. This means your content structure will remain intact, ensuring your workflow never breaks due to lost formatting. This enhancement will be rolled out in close alignment with the API release, so whether you process articles manually or programmatically, the output will stay structured as intended.

2. API access
   The good news is that our API is already under active development. We know that manually processing article by article simply can’t scale for high-volume use cases like yours. Once the API is available, you’ll be able to integrate Lyncte’s Humanizer directly into your content pipeline and automate bulk processing, matching your daily publishing cadence perfectly.

To help you adopt these capabilities as soon as possible, we’d love to offer you early access. If you’re interested, simply reply to this message (or leave your contact details), and we’ll notify you the moment the API and Markdown support enter internal testing. As a user with such a real-world, demanding workflow, your feedback will directly shape how these features are polished.

Thank you again for your candid suggestions. We’re pushing hard to make these improvements, and we look forward to removing the blockers between you and a smooth Lyncte experience. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any further thoughts.

Wishing you continued success with your news site!

Best regards,
The Lyncte Team
