This might be an unpopular take, but I'm tired of all these Markdown text editors. It almost feels like a cop-out at this point. Ever since text editors started supporting Markdown, we've gotten away from all of these great rich-text editors. Apple Notes is an example of a notetaking application "done right", albeit with fewer features. It's enjoyable to use and offers good UI for attaching files. It certainly is not…

Obsidian's WYSIWYG editor is excellent and amazingly featureful. I use it for hours every day, only ever in "edit" mode w/ "live preview", just a couple plugins enabled, and it's by far the best interface to markdown I've encountered.

Nice product and website. Your homepage uses a lot of passive voice. Personally I think changing it to active voice makes the product sound more appealing. "your notes will always be" -> "your notes are always" "content will be synced" -> "content is synced" "note will be periodically synced" -> "notes are periodically synced" "You can use it for managing personal tasks..." -> "Manage your personal tasks..." "You can…

Nitpick: that's not what "active voice" means.

The active voice equivalent of "content will be synced" would be "NotesHub will sync your content".

Dropping passive voice helps most writing, but

FYI that's still passive voice.

People seem interested in this. But I still wonder what is the advantage over Obsidian.

Pay once pricing?

A really interesting feature would be the ability to post to your own host --- the publishing aspect is the one thing which has me seriously contemplating Obsidian, but I'm so deep into gitbook and github I haven't been able to justify a cost-benefit calculation.

I have grown to love markdown in the past year. It is just expressive enough without being burdensomely complex. I appreciate the ability to switch between WYSIWYG and plain text editing modes to achieve precision. In contrast to pure-WYSIWYG editors like Google Docs, the formatting can’t get totally hosed in markdown because you can always dip under the hood and fix stuff. I just wish every rich text editor had acce…

Microsoft Word having a Markdown mode would be _huge_.

If I were still using it regularly I'd put one together using WordBASIC/VBAscript.
