There are a few elements missing that I would really love to see. Mostly native image upload support and embedding. Live Markdown preview WYSIWYG editor. http://texts.io/ http://texts.io/ Came close. I really hope that this project will develop into something better.

Wow that texts.io looks really cool! Doesn't look like it supports tagging/searching and organising notes though (correct me if I'm wrong)

  It's a basic markdown application with live Markdown editing. No tagging supported (or image uploads/embeds). Sadly it's closed source and cost $19/user.

    So $19 for a well-executed piece of software makes you sad?

      Maybe the close sourced aspect worries him more.

I will comment my hackable note-taking app (which has image upload paste) in case anyone is interested: https://github.com/divbit/grimoire https://github.com/divbit/grimoire currently supports image paste -> embedding (this was a crucial feature for me as well) and notes in markdown, latex, html, inline javascript (so you can do a note with some d3 or whatever). I decided to not do live markdown preview because the save feature is fairly quick, and it gives more space on the page for editing on my small screen.

What I'm hoping for is self-previewing Markdown -- where you use the equivalent of syntax highlighting to approximate how the Markdown will be rendered. Lines starting with # are bigger, links are links, and so on. Bullets don't even need to be changed, except possibly in color. The split-pane approach, with one Markdown pane and one WYSIWYG pane, is such a waste of screen space, when self-previewing Markdown is all you need if you're not trying to create a published document. A former Show HN project, bluedocs.io, offered this by default. But now it's defunct (and my notes are lost with it).

    Nice. That is exactly the approach to editing I want, especially in Source Code Mode. Of course, it's only an editor for local documents. I wonder if this could be glued to Standard Notes as a backend somehow.

  If you're on Mac you can have a look at the excellent MacDown (http://macdown.uranusjr.com/ http://macdown.uranusjr.com/) - which is also open source.
