Simple, fast, in-browser, syncs with Google, GitHub, etc. Awesome.

StackEdit 5 became a little worst then 4 version: You need use CouchDB, GitHub, GitLab, Google Drive account to sync workspaces, JSON export now affects only files. It's so inconvenient when you're clearing browser storage:(

Are you saying that this software is only operable by programmers? And not ordinary mortals who might be being addressed as the Git(Hub) on the Couch(DB)?

;P

Probably my favorite editor for writing latex among other tools like Overleaf icon Overleaf

Also has a really nice highlighting syntax that I really like using == operators. So I can figure out what to make Anki icon Anki cards with after

Also, has a really nice notation for doing citations, really useful if you do research papers with things like Citation Machine icon Citation Machine

Has support for markdown code snippets too

I used this previously a few years back and its improved a lot since then. The author merged his other Classeur icon Classeur app with this one

I use this with PhraseExpress icon PhraseExpress so I can write math formulas faster than I can by hand, works pretty well too.

I think I might use this as my do all my course notes

I like that its still mostly markdown format so I can just dump my notes in github if I wanted too, and use a latex to image processor

I like the ability to see my MD rendered on the side in a simplistic interface. I can push my blog posts directly to Blogspot. It saves drafts of my files in my google drive.

What is StackEdit?

StackEdit is a free, open-source Markdown editor based on PageDown, the Markdown library used by Stack Overflow and the other Stack Exchange sites.

Rich Markdown editor StackEdit’s Markdown syntax highlighting is unique. The refined text formatting of the editor helps you visualize the final rendering of your files.

WYSIWYG controls StackEdit provides very handy formatting buttons and shortcuts, thanks to PageDown, the WYSIWYG-style Markdown editor used by Stack Overflow.

Smart layout Whether you write, you review, you comment… StackEdit's layout provides you with the flexibility you need, without sacrifice.

Live preview with Scroll Sync StackEdit’s Scroll Sync feature accurately binds the scrollbars of the editor panel and the preview panel to ensure that you always keep an eye on the output while writing.
