Org mode with markdown export through pandoc

Export to markdown is available, though depending on the version it's not visible in the export list initially (it shows up after you manually call the export function).

When all you need for the UI is a text area to input text and a button to render the markdown, I am at a loss as to what would contribute to a beautiful UI. Is the question correct?

When not using VSCode + preview, I have found https://dillinger.io/ pretty good as you can download the result in various formats.

For Mac, https://ulysses.app/ looks nice. I use it for writing blog posts.

I've been using Nota[1] for the past year or so and it's been great. It has a clean UI and is more "beautiful" than Obsidian in my opinion. You can use it for free but it may prompt you to purchase a license from time to time.

Been really impressed with Nota http://nota.md (currently in pre-release)

Got a good set of features. Not that it does anything super fancy either, it's just really _nice_.

The timeline is interesting, they've been working on earlier forms of this app for about 10 years.https://nota.md/about-us.html

I’m working on https://github.com/thien-do/samuwrite :D it’s typography from iA Writer + vscode editor (monaco). You can try it on samuwrite.com. It also has a mac app.
