I've been looking for a markdown editor that let's me print the rendered view and have yet to find one. Which is quite surprising given how many there are. I just use my own webapp for now, should probably open source it in case anyone else is looking for this functionality. If you know of a nice mac app that let's me easily write / view and print markdown I'd love to hear from you!

Obsidian has a pdf export, but it's overkill for just writing

vscode + pandoc ... work like a charm (incl. side by side preview)

most of these editors offer pdf exports and the ones that don't they offer html ones that can easily be exported in the browser too. Isn't this enough?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

yeah, it's easier to made them now then before. I've made myself two editors recently: https://wander.md - WYSIWYG editor that works on mac, iphone and iPad and has semantic versioning backend in. https://original.me - fully native macOS editor that uses Apple Notes as backend. those are ver interesting to build, but also way more possible. I think it would have take me years before.

When there is a cost. Please show it on the website. I couldn’t find if for wander.

Recently adopted https://github.com/marktext/marktext as I wanted the editable preview that Obsidian offers, but for all .md, not just items in my vault. I dig it so far. And it does offer printing of the render.

I've been using Typora for years. It has a pretty great export/print.

+1 for Typora. One of the things I like is that it gives you some flexibility in how it handles images you drag into a document for embedding purposes.

My favorite option is the one where it automatically colocates assets by creating a folder with the same name as the file, appends `.assets` to it (.assets), copies the image there, and then automatically sets up the preview and embed.

There must be something fascinating about writing Markdown apps - either it scratches an itch, or AI is really good at creating them. There's a flood of them on r/macapps and similar places.

I suspect it's because there's a flood of people writing / looking at MD docs that never did before and want better tooling than is readily known to exist.

I think we're going to see a lot of dev-related tooling that traditional developers would scratch their head and think... who could this possibly be for, and why would anyone spend time making this...

And it's just because there's an entirely new class of people doing this kind of thing now.
