There sure are a lot of these now. There's Koi Writer [1], Dark Copy [2], Light Write [3], Quabel [4], Wabisabi [5], Write.app [6], Pen.io [7], (I like this one), Draft [8], and probably more.

I doubt there's any hope of making money off the project, but it's a great piece of work and something he can add to his portfolio.

Note the prominent mention of nodejs. That is irrelevant to anyone using the app, so adds to the likelihood he is probably hoping to score a job(s) out of his now proven ability to ship products with node.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Google Chrome 28.0.1500.20 dev, Mac OS X 10.7.5

Do you have localStorage disabled?

Nope.

EDIT: From what I can tell, the textarea is over the div.settings

Add a z-index to your .settings rule.

eg:

    .settings {
      z-index: 99;
    }

Pretty nice, one thing I'd say is that the preview view should respect the user's theme setting. If I'm using the dark colour scheme, go to preview what I've been working on and suddenly have a bright white screen thrown in my face it puts a not insubstantial amount of strain on my eyes to adjust.

To add [Mou - Markdown editor for web developers, on Mac OS X](http://mouapp.com/) to the list. My fav so far.

The entire workflow of managing more than one write-up needs some more work. Few examples:

- if you come back and try to edit a write-up you'll have to first open the preview then remember the shortcut to edit it, not really another way around except maybe changing the URL.

- if you have more than one write-up with the same name, you don't really know which one you are on right now.

- deleting the write-up is kinda confusing too. and you can't delete on the view mode.

- shortcuts gets mixed up between control and option.

But overall love it and will try to write more with your help!
