markdown-preview-plus VS stackedit

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 mourn that StackEdit [1] got abandoned. It's online markdown editor that can use git as a backend. Fully cross platform editing (in browser) with synced all text. I used it with GitHub private repository for all my notes but editing on mobile was really buggy. So I moved to notion (unfortunately).

I would love to have something like Notion but using git for all data storage and edit history.

There is https://stackedit.io/ offering it but I stopped using it because of bugs when trying to edit on mobile. And it basically abandoned for the last 2 years https://github.com/benweet/stackedit (only some deps updates, nothing more).

Most dedicated markdown editors all end up using the same JS code editor components like Ace, CodeMirror or Monaco, and those editors have great vim keybindings usually as extensions or options. See if the tool you're using lets you flip those vim bindings on. For some editors they expose it as an option and for others you have to hack around with the source (for example enabling it with stackedit, a PWA markdown editor like ghostwriter, is possible with same hacking: https://github.com/benweet/stackedit/issues/254 ).
