ForgeMD – A New Approach to Collaborative Content Creation

Synami is pleased to announce the launch of ForgeMD, a new platform for teams that want to create, edit, and collaborate on technical and structured content without having to choose between Markdown and a traditional rich-text editor.

ForgeMD brings Markdown and WYSIWYG editing together as two synchronized views of the same document.

This means developers and technical users can work directly with Markdown when they need precision and control, while other team members can use a familiar rich-text interface. Both views remain in sync, so teams can work in the format that best fits the task without creating separate versions of the same content.

Markdown and WYSIWYG in-sync

Markdown is an important part of modern technical workflows, but not everyone who contributes to documentation, product content, or internal knowledge wants to work with markup syntax.

ForgeMD addresses this gap at the editor level.

Users can switch between Markdown and WYSIWYG views while working on the same underlying document. The goal is not to replace one approach with another, but to make both available within a single workflow.

For development teams, this provides the control and portability they expect from Markdown. For writers, product teams, and other contributors, the WYSIWYG editor provides a more accessible way to work with structured content.

AI built into the editing workflow

ForgeMD brings AI directly into the content creation process.

Rather than treating AI as a separate application where content has to be copied back and forth, ForgeMD provides AI capabilities within the editor. Teams can use AI to generate content, enhance existing material, review documents, and even create diagrams.

AI can be controlled at both the individual and organizational level. Teams can decide how AI fits into their workflow instead of having it imposed on every document or every user.

This makes ForgeMD particularly relevant for organizations that want to introduce AI-assisted content creation while maintaining clear control over how those capabilities are used.

Collaboration designed around real documents

Content creation is rarely an individual process. Documentation, product specifications, technical guides, and internal knowledge often involve developers, writers, product managers, and other stakeholders.

ForgeMD includes real-time co-editing, comments and threads, tracked changes, live cursors, presence indicators, and activity notifications. These capabilities allow teams to collaborate directly in the document rather than relying on a separate communication layer for every revision. Workspaces, folders, templates, document permissions, members, and roles provide the organizational structure needed as content projects grow.

Built for modern technical workflows

ForgeMD supports Markdown-based workflows alongside rich-text editing and includes support for diagrams such as Mermaid and UML. Documents can also be imported and exported in a range of formats, helping teams integrate ForgeMD into existing content workflows rather than starting from scratch.

For teams working across different environments, ForgeMD also supports desktop and web access, offline work, and synchronization with conflict resolution.

ForgeMD is now available for teams looking for a more connected way to create, edit, review, and manage structured content.
