I have a box at terminal.com with vim. Costs way less.

#62Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can you imagine collaborating with someone who doesn't know how to use Org-mode?
Org mode works on text files that are formatted in a specific way, the basic syntax is not more or less complicated than Markdown, so you can in principle use it from any editor you want. The way I usually collaborate on things like papers / technical documentation is to assign specific sections, parts of the exposition to different people. I think it is rarely productive to edit the same part of the document at the…
You claimed that ANYONE on Hacker News would be better served by using org-mode through tramp on a remote server.
If instead you had only said that YOU enjoy doing that, there would be nothing to disagree with.
Generally, I think it's a pretty good principle to refrain from making blanket statements about how other peoples' projects are unnecessary or whatever.

#63The UI looks and works nice. I specifically like the the markdown quick reference in the bottom right corner.

#64This is a very slick app and a very nice landing page. Well done and good luck!

#65The thing that would make all these markdown editors a killer app for me is an easy way to link between documents. Something like vimwiki, where you can surround a word or group of words with "[[" "]]" and it turns that word into a [[link]]. These apps are great for editing a single document, but fall down when you want to create a notebook or set of interlinked notes.
Why not vimwiki?
That's what I'm using now. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to drop in an inline image though.

It looks cool, but it seems it's for Mac and iPad only…

Well org mode in emacs allows you to do that. I expect anyone reading Hackernews is probably better served by something like org mode in emacs running on some server that is remotely accessible. Then you can use something like tramp to connect to it and edit all your notes in one place. Alternatively just put them under version control and you are able to edit them offline. I really don't see how an app that implemen…
I'm currently using vimwiki with md syntax, which I like better than org mode. I'm pretty happy with it, although sometimes I would like to drop in an inline image or have md rendered in nice fonts in a native app.

That's actually why we've created http://enterprisewiki.co
Hey, that looks really nice. I'm looking for something native that operates on a folder full of text files, but that is a really great site.

You can try out brainstorm: github.com/Azeirah/brainstorm, Tags can be used to semantically link notes, or if you want to link to another note, you can just use []() markdown link syntax, each note has its own url. You can try the demo at sandstorm.io (install brainstorm as an app) Or you can try a slightly older version here: http://brainstorm-notes.meteor.com/board/Home Is that similar to what you're looking for?
Looks pretty cool, but I had trouble getting the links to work just using a note title. I'm also looking for something native that will operate on a folder full of text files (for easy backup, syncing, and versioning).

Gitbook https://www.gitbook.com/ allows relative links between markdown files. if foo.md links to bar.md with [Bar](bar.md) then Gitbook handles the conversion to the appropriate HTML file name when it generates the book. Yes it's intended for "books" but I find it pretty damn useful for anything that would benefit from a table of contents, and the ability to search...
GitBook also have conrefs (content reference): http://help.gitbook.com/format/conrefs.html
