Even if you prefer markdown over org-mode, there's stuff like https://www.zettlr.com/ which works really well

This is a strange way to say "stubbornly use an editor that is inferior to vim". :P

Probably a pretty dissatisfying one.

#10Although I'm happy to stick with vim, so I'm not in the target audience, I do appreciate these additions to markdown:
1. `%` for comments
2. `synopsis:` for helping with indexing etc
3. `@` for a keyword-value system
Regarding the last, it seems a shame that this collides with a scheme commonly used for bibliographic references, but I guess the idea is that a novel won't have such things.
