Hello folks,
I just wanted to share a pet project of mine:
Marko Editor, a real WYSIWYG Markdown editor.
I know that a desktop WYSIWYG editor is counter intuitive to the original Markdown goals (at least as far as I understand them) but please let me explain my reasoning:
* Although Markdown has an intuitive markup, I guess that for many ordinary people (no (web) developers) even this is too much.
* With all the current privacy issues in the net I wanted a local application. (I know one can use JS locally, too)
* Markdown focusses on content creation (in contrast to layout) and that is my goal, too.
* Markdown files are very versatile:
* Builtin fallback to text (compared to common rich text formats)
* Good diff and merge behaviour
* Good tooling support (publishing in all directions)
So, for me it was natural to try to combine office like editing with Markdown files.
So, if you like, give it a try, it's free: www.marko-editor.com I would be glad to get some feedback from you. Thank you.
Please be aware, that this is the first release, so there might be plenty of bugs and currently not all of Markdown's features are supported.
Regards,
Michael
