- teamhappy 11y agoI get that if you have a lot of tables, images, etc. live preview is useful but I always shake my head when I open up a Github-style README in a text editor -- they're basically unreadable. Why not create an editor that outputs markdown that looks at least somewhat like a human wrote it (wrap lines at 80 columns, put links at the bottom, etc.)
- frabbit 11y agoAgreed completely. An editor specialized to create human-readable Markdown would win my heart. Preview functionality is great, but a killer feature would be to make it easy to preserve the theoretical advantage of Markdown.
