What is MarkItDown?
MarkItDown is a free online converter that turns PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML, CSV, JSON, EPUB, URLs and images into clean, AI-ready Markdown. Its AI OCR handles scanned PDFs and images, recovering text, tables and even converting math to LaTeX — ideal for scanned contracts, receipts, papers and reports that plain text extractors miss. Choose private in-browser processing or fast server conversion. Headings, lists, links and tables are preserved where the source allows. Extra tools include Markdown to PDF/Word, a Markdown viewer, a Markdown cheatsheet and API access. No account required to start: 3 files per batch, 20MB files and 10 OCR pages a month free; Pro raises limits to 100MB files, 30-file batches, more OCR and unlimited saved results. Available in English, Chinese, Japanese, German, Portuguese and Spanish.

Screen GitHub profiles before interviews to hire product-minded engineers
ElevenLabs screens engineering candidates' public GitHub profiles before the first interview, looking specifically for developers who independently build and ship side projects.

These hires then attract similar people through referrals, compounding the culture without diluting the founding character of the team.

Track every feature click to find your true value proposition then market that
By obsessing over in-app analytics in PostHog, the team identified which screens were failing during onboarding and which features drove the most engagement. This let them redesign around actual behavior and then mirror that value prop in their marketing — a loop that pushed conversion above 50%.
