#2Very slick. Nice touch adding the delay between scrolling and moving the other page. Your logo looks like StackOverflow's, is there a relationship between the two? Otherwise I'd consider changing it.
Also, the save/download buttons (the first thing I look for in an app like this) are hidden behind a sliding panel. Move them front and center!

#3I'm curious what are all the "Application Cache Progress event" showing up in the console? There's a different URL for each event but it doesn't seem to correspond to an actual HTTP request?

#4The best M↓ editor I've used is Haroo Pad[1]. I like it because you don't need to visit a webpage to use it which makes it ideal for offline idea dumps while you're on a plane for example.

I had the same question too. The footnote #1 states that >"StackEdit is a free, open-source Markdown editor based on PageDown, the Markdown library used by Stack Overflow and the other Stack Exchange sites."

#6I find it strange that the icon used is so similar to StackOverflow's if this isn't an app built by the same people.

Definitely an odd choice. Asking for trouble. If you've put so much work into, is the marketing value from a hint of association worth the potential mess?

I've never seen that one, but it looks pretty similar to the one I use, Mou -- http://mouapp.com/

#9What I want to see is an open source markdown editor that renders the preview as you type where you type (not side by side).
For an example check out http://mangomarkdown.com/ (which powers foldingtext).
There are a few projects that do this, but not open source, that I can find! It might not be that hard to change the current ones that go side by side to do this.
(I am planning to work on one, but have not gotten around to doing much, and will probably take a different approach to it than this)

I really don't there's a need for a special application for this; I use Emacs's markdown-mode, python-markdown, and xhtml2pdf along with a docview pane to edit and preview Markdown, and I can't imagine a smoother experience with a dedicated editor — plus I get to use the editor to which I'm generally accustomed.
