Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be actively being worked on and isn't complete enough for me to use personally (custom themes aren't implemented, for example). These are the WYSIWYG Markdown editors that I am aware of: - Typora (great but somewhat buggy). - Obsidian is working on a WYSIWYG mode. - Nota (nota.md) is promising but very beta. - Zettlr - Bear is working on a WYSIWYG mode.

There is a plugin for Obsidian that helps with WYSIWYG! Also isn't Bear WYSIWYG?

That was pretty much my evaluation of Mark Text, as well: https://www.brycewray.com/posts/2021/05/trying-mark-text-for-website-content/ https://www.brycewray.com/posts/2021/05/trying-mark-text-for...

Does Notion not count?

  I never considered Notion to be a Markdown editor. Is there an easy way to open, edit and save Markdown files with Notion?

    They have a Markdown-like syntax, but AFAIK it's only for notes stored in their cloud service.

I wish I could consolidate a lot of the apps I use for Markdown: Blog: I used Vim for a long time, now I use the online editor https://stackedit.io https://stackedit.io. I found that composing blog posts involves cutting and pasting big blocks of text a lot more than coding, which is better done with a mouse. Stackedit has a side-by-side view and WYSIWYG. Github wiki: Good for sketching ideas for blog posts, and documentation. Editable by others. (wish list: I kinda want the Roam Research bidirectional link thing, I often have that problem) Github issues: similar to a TODO list for many people. Zulip: Good for chatting with others, and for brainstorming ideas. So it overlaps with the Github wiki for that. Not good for a TODO list. So there are all these apps that use Markdown but they are a bit disconnected. Is that what Notion is supposed to be? A bunch of apps that interoperate and are unified? I haven't tried it since I mainly stick to open source stuff (with the exception of Github, though it is built on git)

Joplin has its quirks but overall is a great, mature WYSIWYG markdown editor with syncing/backups and an Android app.

I know it's quite heavy but for performance, consistency, and attractive rendering (surprisingly important) having tried many options, including my personal runner-up Byword which hasn't been mentioned, I settled on the usual suspect of VS Code. Usually with the Github Markdown extension switched on due to liking their theme, but obviously that isn't a requirement. Open a Markdown file and use your platform's Markdown Preview hotkey (eg Cmd+K,V). Simple.
