I tried to write this from groups in my phone since some people take issue with the required long and religious signature on my work email. Google is telling me the send process didn't take, so I am copying and pasting it and sending by email. Would be a lot easier if I were at my lap. But I am in bed a little under the weather.

Happy to explain, Hans. Stackedit is great in that you can toggle everything away and write in a clear space in markdown. So I totally understand your comment. My problems are three. 1. I found myself toggling a lot in stackedit. Toggle the format bar since no way to use keystrokes for bold and italic. Toggle the left bar to open a file. Toggle the right to access the TOC. Toggle to another part of the right for pubbing or printing etc. That was distracting. I had enough distractions like that in Tiddlywiki and didn't want more. 2. Dragging ideas to different places and zooming in and out is not as easy as in dynalist. I tend to think and write long articles hierarchically. So dynalist is quicker for that and suits my way of writing. 3. Confession time. I tend to format headers, etc, as I write, a bad habit. I am a very visual person who likes things looking nice even in the draft phase In stackedit this means a bunch of ugly ##s and **s everywhere. Made for a lot of clutter. So I decided to write in dynalist and format certain items in stackedit after the transfer process, to kind of trick/force myself not to format until after everything is written. So, stackedit is great, but I am picky and weird. And this system so far is doing the trick.
