It makes sense that Markdown is a good tool for a specific purpose, and generalized note taking isn't it.

As an aside, I have a dream that Apple Notes could be piped into a website as a form of blogging. As it is, I haven't found a way to do it...

I like my Markdown notes editor, but I agree it's not the right choice for Apple notes because exposing the underlying machinery in everyday use is not Apple's style.

John Gruber, creator of markdown, wrong about markdown again. ( https://airsource.co.uk/blog/2014/09/04/markdown-has-been-st... )

As its author, he’s right though. There really shouldn’t be a standard considered Standard Markdown. It muddies the fact that it wasn’t published by its author.

Maybe Common Markdown would have been a better name between a few large orgs.
