Is there something similar that is offline? All I'm interested in is just opening up a bookmark without an internet connection and being able to jot down stuff with Markdown support; it being able to save state is even not necessarily required.

Stackedit works offline if you install the Chrome app. I assume there's also some way to coax it into working as a file:// uri. Chrome app: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stackedit/iiooodelglhkcpgbajoejffhijaclcdg/related%5D https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stackedit/iiooodel...

You could try something like this, though it might not have the markdown support you want. https://github.com/zserge/awfice https://github.com/zserge/awfice

Markdown and offline is always a bit problematic. It's a format that needs to be rendered with a browser, so it's just not very suitable for offline/non-browser use.

I was bored, here you go! A completely offline browser-based markdown editor! https://notes.cx/ZkZNL9vFr https://notes.cx/ZkZNL9vFr Edit: Updated styles. Clarified what it is.

  Excellent. Useful for being on a chromebook, offline and not logged in, so only opening local html files for tools is an option (no Chrome extensions). Will add file saving to my copy.

  Not to pressure but having open/save buttons (implementable either as upload/download Javascript shims) would be interesting. They can also be quine-like (I.e. you save the HTML and Javascript of the editor itself together with the content). I did once that for Suneditor but did not publish it, alas.

    I love having the document and the app being the same file. No app to find or version skew between app and data.

    No pressure at all! I could just... not think about it if I didn't want to. :p I took another stab at it and this is what I ended up with: https://gist.github.com/honmanyau/5680d1c7b823d454122a0275ba3fe60a https://gist.github.com/honmanyau/5680d1c7b823d454122a0275ba... It's now a Gist because I only realised later that the original note will be deleted after 24 hours. There are now two mechanisms that persist data between sessions: 1. Auto-saving to localStorage every 5000 ms (adjustable as per the instructions). 2. Manual data saving/download implemented using an anchor element that triggers a download. We can now restore markdown by loading a downloaded file (in principle this should work for any plain text file). One important thing to note here is that localStorage doesn't work in private browsing mode and its behaviour is not entirely consistent between browsers. So I wouldn't rely too much on it!

      That's pretty neat! You actually gave me an idea - it'd probably be neat to be able to export a note in HTML/MD.
