You see, on the one hand I think this is kind of admirable. Yay, I type my markdown over here and I can instantly see the bits I got wrong over there . But I also can't help thinking, if you're going to all that effort why not go full WYSIWYG, with Markdown as the file format? (You'd need some kind of support for merge markers I suppose, I guess that'd be kind of tricky.) You know what it reminds me of? Wordperfect 5…
Erato and Mou are all great but they both lack the single most important feature: An iPad app with iCloud sync. I've also stopped using iA Writer for their, at times, weird Markdown interpretation.
Something I've been looking for for a while: A Markdown WYSIWYG. I personally dislike WYSIWYG, but for clients, it cannot be beaten. Now, most things that clients do in CMSs can be done with Markdown, and it avoids complications with weird HTML output, them trying to do unconventional styling (aka "ruining the website). So something like CKEditor or TinyMCE but outputting Markdown, and constrained to Markdown's limit…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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).
I wonder if Erato is also just using the Ace editor as that preview on the side looks like a webview. If they did that's cool, but then this basically the same thing as Dillinger.
This has the same design as http://mouapp.com which has been on the market for a long time now. Mou is donation based so you can try before you donate. The developer is very responsive and the app is constantly updated. I really don't get it.
This feels like a different shade of the same idea.

You mean something like this? http://www.texts.io/
I can type a # and it will automatically turn the text into a Title which is nice, but any other Markdown-like syntax is printed verbatim, which is odd because when I save and reload it will suddenly render it as Markdown just fine.
If I could write Markdown in this and had some way to refresh the editor to visualize it as an alternative to the insert bindings, personally I'd be sold on this for sure.

yes, it's here: http://www.texts.io/
I use Mou and am pretty happy with it, though I'll switch in an instant if this support Github Flavoured Markdown..
