Everyone loves to gripe about Markdown, but I think this the killer feature which keeps it so prominent: it's right at the sweet spot of staying in a writing workflow while still having enough formatting capability to cover ~95% of use cases. Despite all the complaining, I don't expect it to be replaced any time soon and I think all my notes and writing will be in Markdown for many years to come.
- genewitch 2y agoI only have 1 markdown editor, in nextcloud. Is there an app that let's me write markdown and then save as .md for publication by something that makes that HTML?
- TZubiri 2y agoWhat do you mean markdown editor? I thought the idea was that you can just write it as plain text in something like notepad.exe
- genewitch 2y agomarkdown isn't viewed as plain text, though. So a markdown editor lets you edit markdown while seeing what it looks like, with things like "make this highlighted selection bold" as a keypress combo or a button.
- TZubiri 2y agoHmm, it also has display support in a lot of random websites and tools like GitHub and reddit
