markdown-preview-plus VS atom

Funny. During my bachelor thesis I added Pandoc as a renderer to an Atom markdown preview extension. (instead of actually writing my thesis)

Old is new, the editor and the extension are now defunct. What was best about this exercise, I got so well versed with the markdown and Pandoc features at the time, that I didn’t need the preview at all.

I really hope that Visual Studio Code at least ports the Markdown Preview Plus extension, which was amazing:

Unfortunately, VS Code extensions are often poor quality.

GhostWriter is more basic than others, which some may consider a good thing. I tried it on Arch for a bit since there is a package in the official repos.

I however prefer just using Atom with Markdown Preview Plus. It has a ton of features built in with sane extensions, or you can integrate it with Pandoc:

I'm sure VS Code has something similar, but only from non-trusted third parties.

I thought a lot of the Atom developers moved to create Pulsar Editor.

Also, the community forked Atom into a community edition (CE), still getting updates?

What makes this "Atom Developer Editor" different than Pulsar or Atom-CE.

There's https://github.com/atom-community/atom, hoping that or similar will gain traction

A couple community maintained Atom forks have emerged: Atom Community and Pulsar. Of the two, Pulsar seems to be more actively developed.

Yes, I know Microsoft is archiving the Atom editor repo, but a public fork lives on. https://github.com/atom-community/atom/ atom-slime is probably still my favorite of the bunch. It actually uses Emacs SLIME. But I haven't looked at it in a couple years or longer.

Looks like the Atom community also started a fork of Atom a while back: https://github.com/atom-community/atom/

There is this: https://github.com/atom-community/atom

If you haven't heard, MS is retiring Atom in December 2022. I assume most of us will try the Atom community fork. But as back-up, etc., what editors are folks thinking about / exploring?

After the announcement of Atom sunset, people started to continue it as a community fork. It seems it's growing and drawing attention: At July 10th (two days after the announcement), it had 86 stars, but now it has more than 230! It may be no comparable to the star count of Atom itself (around 58k), but it's rising.

But - the community is taking the job to reimplement the servers. We're not sure about teletype, but packages will be able to be installed - well, in a different Atom binary that the community will provide. For more info: https://github.com/atom-community/atom/discussions
