Typora–a minimal markdown reading and writing app (OS X,Windows,Linux)

  The problem I have with this approach, is how do I change something that's part of the syntax? Eg how do I change the url for a link? How do I change the heading level? A pure editor or editor+preview doesn't have those issues.

    you just put the cursor on that item again (whatever it is) and the markdown reappears, and you can change it. it's actually not a problem at all and quite intuitive

      Doesn't work for headings, list items, etc. Even when it does work, it's kind of janky to use, because I have to click/move the cursor to the displayed text, and then move it again once the markdown parts appear. Honestly: the "Source Code Mode" is a lot more appealing: it leaves the full markdown visible, but applies styling to the code, so headings are bigger, bold/italic are styled appropriately, etc. However: MacDown does this, is open source, and has dedicated edit and preview windows/panes. Good luck (if you're the author) with this. It's nice to see people still writing proper (i.e. native, not something with a Chrome runtime) Mac Apps, but this one isn't for me.

        not the author just a fan if you put the cursor just before the first character in a heading, then hit backspace/delete, you get back to plaintext. same for list items
