#12I recommend something like Obsidian instead which is a markdown editor (newly upgraded) along with an entire knowledge base and note taking system that can create and maintain references across files. https://obsidian.md/
I feel obligated to mention Logseq https://logseq.com/ as well as Zettlr https://www.zettlr.com/ which are both markdown editors with knowledge base and management. Incidentally, I do all of this in Emacs.
I'll have to look into all of these. Here's what I really want: A note taking app that lets me insert code cells, a la Jupyter. I'm using colaboratory right now but I'd like to explore alternatives.
I've gotten to the point where I practically can't use an editor that doesn't let me run code, because that's become my second brain.

Yes, I'll add WikiLens [1] and Dendron [2] as VSCode extensions if you want to reuse an existing editor, or other apps like Bear [3] and Roam [4].

I do that with org-mode https://orgmode.org/ it's integrated with Emacs and I can run code in the document as well as export to PDF for presentations for example.

#15Things I want in a markdown editor: Grammar check. Auto-capitalise start of sentence and known proper nouns. Auto fix obvious typos without bothering me. Grammatically smart spellcheck. Detect and flag accidental double space. Detect and flag duplicate words. Word count excluding headlines.
It's nice when I use Google docs and it has that stuff. I wish I had it in markdown.

#16To the best of my knowledge this (Marktext) is the only free/open-source Markdown editor that has WYSIWYG (like Typora: https://typora.io/). Not a separate preview window, but the actual editor window renders each Markdown "block" (paragraph, list item, whatever) except the one you're editing.

Joplin is another good one. https://joplinapp.org/

#18Just another one in an endless stream of bloatware Electron markdown text editors. Stop giving these projects recognition.

Here's the thing: I really like Loqseq's interface (it mimic's Andy Matuschak's Evergreen notes[0]) but I really hate the fact that it doesn't let me edit plain Markdown files and write free-form text. (Looks like I'm not the only one[1].) It forces me into this weird outliner format that I personally don't like at all – and I'm saying this as someone who used org-mode for years.

Re: Marktext – Elegant Markdown Editor for Linux, macOS, Windows
#20Wow, this looks surprisingly slick and lightweight! (In terms of bloat, not in terms of file size of course, since it obviously uses Electron.) I normally use Sublime Text to edit Markdown files but I think I might give this a try! Two questions (to anyone who's able to answer them): - Is there a general-purpose (possibly configurable?) popup window to fuzzy-find files, search the command palette et cetera, like in S…
Try this: https://obsidian.md/
Thanks, I already knew about Obsidian. However, it is anything but lightweight and, personally, I don't like its UI that much, either.
