Beautiful editor, one of my favorites, and surprisingly free and multi-platform: works in Mac OS, Windows and Linux.

LaTeX coverage is as much as I need, and it renders to SVG when exporting as HTML. You've got yourself one more user!

I like the WYSIWYG and there's a handful of useful features, good job!

Using this since at least two years and it constantly got better and expanded. The one thing that I still love this for is that it starts quick and it is a incredible way to explain markdown to beginners.

One thing that could improve is the update mechanism which sometimes distrafts you from writing at startup, but that is really a tiny nitpick.

I think this is one of the only wysiwyg editors for markdown with latex support. Have been using it for the past half year and it works like a charm!

Hard to say that it is "truly minimal" when it uses Electron. There was a time when 75MB of memory usage would have been considered absolutely massive for an application with similar functionality.

Nice UI though.

I think the 'truly minimal' refers to the UI!

There was also a time when vi was considered a memory hog with crazy feature creep.
