If you search 'Markdown' on HackerNews, it'd seem like the 'market' for markdown editors is fragmented: there isn't a single dominant editor yet. I think every week there's a new editor posted (Joplin is an exception given that it's been here for a while). Why is that the case?

Joplin isn't a Markdown editor, it's a note taking and todo list app. It just happens to use Markdown as its entry format. It seems like it's a "Markdown editor" in the same way as reddit or github.

well this looks more like a todo program than a markdown editor

I'm looking for an Evernote alternative since long. Evernote is one of my favourite applications, but I fear the moment when Amazon or Google or Microsoft buys it like Fitbit or Nest. It is going to happen, and I put more and more info into that app.

I'm definitely going to try this and I truly hope it is good enough for me.

I gave Joplin a try and syncing with Dropbox wasn’t flawless.

Still searching for a markdown editor that runs on both iOS & Linux and does auto save & auto sync.

Isn’t any text editor compatible with Dropbox? I mean Dropbox does the syncing and your editor just saves the file there, right?

You don’t even need the same editor. You can use one on Linux, one on iOS and another on Windows.

I’m looking for a multi-platform (linux-mac-ios) markdown editor that saves at regular interval and keeps history and sync via git.

Is there anything like that?

How hard would it be to extend joplin to write a service driver to sync via Git(-hub / -lab / your own server)?

After years of searching I’ve pretty much settled on one note-taking app: Apple Notes. Quite unexpected to me as well because I started off just to sort of “cache” random notes in it before sorting them out in OneNote. Then I found myself almost stopped using OneNote. It’s just ubiquitous enough when you have a few extra PC devices, (unlike say, Bear) and versatile enough so it’s not limited to texts like Notational Velocity or SimpeNote, and quick and easy enough so I never have to wait for launching or syncing like with OneNote. It’s not enjoy-sparking to use and the text is a bit cramped. But it gets stuff done and I forget about it most of the time. So it’s just almost perfect for me.
