ThiefMD: My Linux Markdown Quarantine Project
Like most markdown editors, we have typewriter scrolling, focus mode, and live preview. Code Blocks support syntax highlighting for a majority of languages. We also have a selection of themes and support CSS for export formatting. Some of our secret sauce includes write-good suggestions based on btford's write-good, which we ported to Vala.
