⌨️ I have found my favourite Markdown editor, again

I stumbled across this post which, while old (published in October of 2023), has a great list of native Markdown editors for the Mac.

Nicolas Magand:

I tried 20 apps or so on my Mac to see if there was an app better for me than The Archive. Worst-case scenario: I’d keep using The Archive, which is pretty great all things considered.

The app of my dreams needs to be, in that order:

  1. reliable
  2. fast
  3. well-designed (which goes way beyond “good-looking”)
  4. provides a sense of delight (hard to explain, but this is a thing)
  5. with the right set of features: not too many, but the essentials need to be well executed.

I won’t get into too many details and won’t try to compare all the apps. I will simply list those that I tried and explain briefly why they didn’t convince me to switch.

If you're looking for a better Markdown app, this is a great place to start looking.
