About Brett

Brett Terpstra

I’m a coder, writer and web developer. I work behind the scenes at blogs including Engadget, Joystiq and The Unofficial Apple Weblog. I occasionally write for The Unofficial Apple Weblog, and contribute to Macworld.

I develop a Markdown previewer for Mac called Marked, and recently co-authored “60 Mountain Lion Tips” with David Sparks for the iBookstore.

You can also listen in weekly as I chat with a broad range of guests on my podcast, Systematic, on the 5by5 network.

I can be found as “ttscoff” on Twitter, App.net and Github.

Marked

Get Marked

Pick your favorite editor: Marked's flexible Markdown preview will show you the final output of your document as you work, and its writing tools make your life easier from concept to publish.

Marked takes Markdown text — a simple syntax you can learn in minutes — and turns it into beautiful documents for you. It will update a preview as you work (with several high-quality themes to choose from, or design your own), refreshing every time you save.
