We get it. Your project is doing a lot, and you need a better way than a wall of text to deliver your Project Description.
That’s why we support basic Markdown syntax across Flow State wherever your full project description is displayed.
We recommend using a Markdown preview tool when drafting your description.
You can edit your main project description anytime, but after you’ve been accepted to a round you may be locked into that description (depending on the round configuration). This is to prevent “bait & switch” round applications.

And this is the second line.
