The link that was submitted has an editor that detects latex formulas, send them to the link I mentioned earlier, get back an svg and insert it on the page.
If you do use Markdown regularly, how often does it allow you to do everything you need (i.e. how often do you have to switch to something else)?
Feedback appreciated, thanks.
I'm curious as to the percentage of users here that use Markdown regularly? I'm one of the founders of Overleaf, and we've found that our users tend to either want to be able to edit in full LaTeX or want to avoid the need to code even in markdown (hence the reason we built a rich text layer for overleaf[1]) If you do use Markdown regularly, how often does it allow you to do everything you need (i.e. how often do you…
Although markdown has its limitations, as well as a barrier to entry for the non-technical user, it enables us to make sure our content is uniform in appearance with minimal style guides. A good markdown table editor would be a real winner, and some f the better open source editors don't have a consistent set of features, so it is often s bit of a trade off determining what is best.

Vs LaTeX - sometimes I need just to note (a to do list, a draft of a blog post, an outline of workshop), without the boilerplate or visual noise of LaTeX.
(And I wrote more than a dozen of papers in LaTeX - so mine argument isn't "LaTeX is too hard".)
That said, I enjoyed using Overleaf - but mainly for teaching LaTeX (no installation, very nice and readable error messages, nice examples (I use your default page as the first introduction)). But for anything longer it's a pain that everything needs to recompile every few keystrokes (especially on a slow connection); I know it's not you but LaTeX; but for the same reason sometimes (when not requiring full features of LaTeX) it's easier to use Markdown + MathJaX.

Strangely enough though for the current paper I have to write (> 20,000 but Pollen, which featured here recently, looks interesting too and I'm going to investigate that.
Edit: I've used Overleaf (and love it!) and even demo'd it to others and I think it's a great product. Scrivener is doing interesting things as well.

I have a content platform (medical app) where our clients create or upload a significant percentage of the content.

I seldom need to switch to something else or it should be to design diagrams or imagery. Even code - using extensions to highlight stuff - works relatively well. The only thing I dislike is the table stuff which for me always involves some fiddling.
But to be perfectly honest I'm also thinking of looking into latex. I also use pandoc to convert my markdown files to PDF which uses latex templates if I’m not mistaken. For me personally it works and looks great but the company has invested a lot of resources in branding and creating some-kind of corporate identity.
So now they want all the documentation including the fancy headers/footers and I think the only way of inserting it with pandoc involves creating a latex template and using the fancyhdr (off the top of my head so I could be wrong) package. Definitely something that I need to look into.

When it comes to Markdown its main advantage is not its features (it does not have many), but its simplicity (and ability to edit it in a text editor - blazing fast, no distractions, etc). And then I can convert it to anything. Vs LaTeX - sometimes I need just to note (a to do list, a draft of a blog post, an outline of workshop), without the boilerplate or visual noise of LaTeX.
