To 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.
Just another one in an endless stream of bloatware Electron markdown text editors. Stop giving these projects recognition.
Why, because it's Electron? I thought the anti-Electron stance had been debunked a while ago, that it's not every Electron app that chews up RAM like crazy, etc. Electron seems like a great way to get a cross-platform app out there without having to hire three separate departments of code developers.
I 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/
Joplin is another good one. https://joplinapp.org/

Let's see, Discord uses 450mb of memory after being open for 3 hours, and Spotify has gone through 1.6gb after 8. If these people with infinite resources at their disposal can't do good resource management, I'm not sure who out there is "debunking" the fact that running a web browser as a wrapper for your application is (surprise surprise!) resource heavy.

Since you're the author of Bangle.io and it seems the latter is based on bangle.dev[0] which in turn is based on ProseMirror(?), why did you decide to make Bangle's interface look like that of VS Code / Monaco[1]? At first I thought this was just VS Code running in the browser. Other than that, it looks pretty promising. I'll definitely be following the project! :) (By the way, I can't find the "install" button on ap…

It is just a personal preference but I find VS code's UI, especially the command palettes (inspired by sublime?) a good interface for notes. > By the way, I can't find the "install" button on app.bangle.io that is mentioned in the FAQ. If you open the app in Chrome (o…
Things 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.
While we are it, I would like a collapsible headings view panel. Jetbrains has this in the markdown editor they include in their products, and it is so damn useful in navigating large files.

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.

Too be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if gif rendering is one of the most memory intensive parts of the app. They have them everywhere and people paying for their premium subscriptions get a 50Mb upload cap and they will store the full uncompressed version of that resource and display it in the chat (although I think you have to click to load resources over 8Mb).

Slack on the desktop continues to be a prominent unnecessary resource hog (just watch top -u with Slack open in the background). If Electron wants to shed its reputation, they should consider engaging with the Slack team, since it’s the primary unavoidable Electron app for a lot of us.
