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.

Headers

Line Breaks

To create a line break or new line, end a line with two or more spaces, and then type return. Add an extra return to create a new paragraph. (Note: we do not support the HTML <br> syntax as a substitute.)

This is the first line.

And this is the second line.

This is a new paragraph.
