- enobrev 8y agoI think I may have the same issue. There's a bit too much going on for me. Markdown has definitely become my format of choice. It's like the JSON of plain-text files: Imperfect, but simple and everywhere. I'd like to simplify down to markdown files in folders as you have, but I can't seem to find a native editor that I actually like on Ubuntu. They all feel incomplete, or they insist upon "preview" mode, which I can't stand. Paper has the best editor UX for me, where the formatting happens inline, immediately, as I type. The automated TOC driven by headers is pretty great as well. I do wish I could "view source" once in a while, but for the most part I never actually have to.
- random_kris 8y agoI use typora. Im not exactly sure whether it works on linux. also you could use a vscode extension for live previewing (vscode works on linux right?)
- enobrev 8y agoI'm pretty late on this response, so I'm not sure you'll ever see it, but after your recommendation I downloaded Typora. It's excellent. I'd tried it a couple times in the past and was not impressed, but I am now. It's fast, it works predictably well, and the documentation is really good. I wish they had a means of adding plug-ins (or if it were open-source, so I could figure out how to add my own). Thanks for the recommendation! As for vscode, I may try it at some point as vscode is pretty impressive, although I tend to live in the Jetbrains world, and happily so. That said, I haven't really been a fan of any Markdown plugin on Jetbrains apps.
