I've been using Typora which works really well imo but I don't want to spend money on a markdown editor(yet).
This looks promising. Thanks for sharing!

#42How many Electron Markdown editors could this world possibly use?
If you are tired of electron apps, try https://bangle.io . It’s a web app that allows you to edit locally saved markdown files.
This looks nice. I see that it’s been on Show HN a few times, but hasn’t gotten a lot of comments. I’m adding this to my list of apps to try out.

#43it's not for linux/macOS/windows
it's for the web, and the browser happen to support linux/macos/windows
you need a browser to run it

#44No offense, but how on earth is a markdown text editor 100 megabytes. I know this is the way it is now and I'm just going to have to get over it, but it's still so bizarre to me
wait until you see the 200mb electron UI for dd
programming gone wrong

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.
Is there a shortage of polyglots?
However you slice it, unless you use a cross-platform system you’re going to write and test some code three times. Or four. Or five.
I love native apps, but it’s hardly a difficult choice to make for a business. Only nerds like us notice apps that use gigabytes of ram.
Spotify is on every platform and probably they wrote that interface once. That’s a gigantic win for everyone involved.

Typora is one of my favorite pieces of software, and imo the world’s best wysiwyg editor for markdown. I really wish I could use its editor in vscode and Joplin.

And lucky for us this thing ships with an entire web browser!
it's like building a skyscraper just so you can use the bathroom in the lobby

#49To 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.
Obsidian very recently added this too, and it works great.
Is it still in beta?

Not quite. Only nerds like us notice that apps use gigabytes of ram. Everyone notices when apps are slow, especially when the system goes to the page file.
8GB of ram is very typical being the base spec in most laptops today.
