I'm really happy to see more What-you-see-is-what-you-mean Markdown editors. This previous HN discussion of Markdownify (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9354653 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9354653) alerted me to Texts.io, which initially looked extremely promising, but was riddled with bugs. I ended up having to go back to iA Writer Pro (which is a solid, normal MD editor). For pure writing activities, stripping away (hiding) as much of the syntax and chrome as possible is very valuable, which is why I moved to MD from Word in the first place. Two-pane write/preview editors are a terrible solution.

You remind me there is a need in my editing workflow for a diff or divergence tool across my targets: github, PDF tooling and popular free editors where collaborators might be working. I'm happy to learn in these comments about the http://commonmark.org/ http://commonmark.org/ effort.
