Looks like Mou ( http://mouapp.com/ ). Does anyone know the differences?
Erato has a more flexible window layout than Mou, and provides some nice editor shortcuts that programmers are used to (e.g. better identation features and block autocomplete).

#13I've been using dillinger for a while, and I'm very happy with it: http://dillinger.io/ Also, it is open source: https://github.com/joemccann/dillinger
It appears to only be distributed as a web app. Apples and oranges. Also the editor looks like a code editor (Erato also kind of does, but it has a margin and it doesn't have line numbers by default).

#14Why does this, and other markdown editors, use a fixed width font? It would be nice to have a variable width font by default and a quick toggle button or menu item to switch to a fixed width font.

Erato uses a fixed-width font because it is easy to read and makes formatting very clear. You can change the font in the Settings. I like your idea of a toggle though, I'll give it some thought and see how it might work.

Erato doesn't change the text size in the editor window, just in the live preview window. Mou is clever in this regard but its cleverness that doesn't improve the experience IMHO.

#17Also check out my fork of Markdown live, which is exactly this + open-source + bugs + shitty syntax highlighting.

Yeah that's what I do, but I use application called Marked to preview it.
Marked is a smart idea, because people love their text editors.
Re: Erato - simple and beautiful markdown editor
#19For this I use grunt-markdown and grunt-watch (that integrates LiveReload).

#20Out of curiosity, why not support 10.6? Are there some features that rely on Lion or ML? If 10.6 had been supported, I would have purchased a copy.
