Hi folks, author here. I wrote this for myself for a docs site I'm building, and didn't want to ship a markdown parser to the browser. It's mostly for aesthetics, without sacrificing performance. Custom components for primitives are a nice addition, especially for styling.
I don't know whether it's a good idea, but I like it so far.
I'm pretty happy to see it... IMHO, this is actually a great value add for React, as when typing longer text, I'd rather use MD more often than not... I wish that common markdown was closer to gfm, but to each their own. Still a nice thing to have.
