Earlier quoted context omitted.

And the developers get compensated for their work how?

Not all software needs to be for-profit. Simple utility stuff I believe should fit in this category. Things like a text editor. The profit comes from elsewhere, larger more complex systems. Of course someone can TRY to profit off a text editor, but unless it solves complex enough problems (like a full blown IDE, but even then...). The issue is there is intense demand for it, and ALSO easy supply. If someone attempts…

Glad I read this! I love Helix and have been looking for a way to have some extra note taking features without loosing my favourite editor. Will definitely give markdown-oxide a try!
