Mark Text: Simple and Elegant Markdown Editor Focused on Speed and Usability
The important feature worth mentioning (more than “simple and elegant” and “focused on speed and usability”) is that it directly renders the Markdown (in the editor itself, not in a separate pane or window), giving a WYSIWYG feel while still being backed by a plain-text (markdown) format that if needed can be edited directly (even in an different editor). This I've found to help enormously with being distraction-free (while still having the peace of mind from not creating an irrecoverable binary blob). Of course, to someone else it may not be a big deal.<p>Before seeing this just now, Typora (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21458977" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21458977</a>) was the only Markdown editor I had encountered that does this, but it is not open-source. Another was the halfway-in-between (shows both syntax and rendering) Abricotine (<a href="https://github.com/brrd/Abricotine" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/brrd/Abricotine</a>) which has the sense to mention it as the main feature: “Markdown editor with inline preview” and “you can preview your document directly in the text editor rather than in a side pane”.<p>Are there any other editors like this?
