I tried it, because I'm trying to convince a colleague to use markdown and git for a collaborative project. This person lives mainly in the MSword world, so I thought atom might be a good choice. In testing it, I found the git interface was simple for me, having used git for years and therefore knowing what "staged" means. However, the interface will be confusing for my colleague. It would be great if the atom folks could make a 30-second video of the workflow, a bit like Apple has done for taking photos of different types. Failing that, it will be me on the phone with my colleague, telling them what to click and when. I think the atom folks could have done this better. Maybe they should highlight the "next most likely" action at any time.
- type0 9y agoFor nontechnical users Gitbook Editor is a great alternative to this. You don't have to have a gitbook.com account to use it, just dismiss it when you start the app, it also supports Asciidoc which in my mind superior to Markdown for any kind of documentation.
