Hi @ashwinvis, I'm interested in working on this issue Is this bounty still active and open for contributions?

[ashwinvis]

Open for contributions , of course. Unfortunately we don't have any budget for a bounty.

Great. I will assign you in this then. The challenge when I tried this years ago that things break in the Node.js world and many fixes will be needed. Try to upgrade one package at a time and make sure you don't have a "global" installation of a instant-markdown-d from npmjs.com.
