InfluxDB

Mark Text is rather buggy and has frustrated me too many times with lost data to recommend it. The developer no longer maintains it, so the chance of getting any improvements is unlikely. https://github.com/marktext/marktext/issues/1290#issuecommen...
If you are tired of electron apps, try https://bangle.io . It’s a web app that allows you to edit locally saved markdown files.
Since you're the author of Bangle.io and it seems the latter is based on bangle.dev[0] which in turn is based on ProseMirror(?), why did you decide to make Bangle's interface look like that of VS Code / Monaco[1]?
On a different note, IMO using Electron for an app is not a bad choice per se. It's just that editors written in web technologies usually suck because they are so slow compared to, say, Vim/Emacs/Sublime. Is ProseMirror really that much better (faster) than Monaco/VS Code? If not, what's the benefit of using Bangle over Marktext? (Sure, running Marktext/Electron will use up additional RAM compared to running Bangle in an existing browser. But to be honest CPU load is much more important to me.)

> why did you decide to make Bangle's interface look like that of VS Code / Monaco[1]? At first I thought this was just VS Code running in the browser.
It is just a personal preference but I find VS code's UI, especially the command palettes (inspired by sublime?).
> By the way, I can't find the "install" button on app.bangle.io that is mentioned in the FAQ.
If you open the app in Chrome (or any chromium browser), you will see a sign to install the app as a PWA (progressive web app) next to the URL.

In my opinion going the Electron route is a lot of work for a single developer and you loose the portability of a web application.

I think you will be delighted to see that Bangle is pretty performant. I would recommend opening a heavy app like 10000-markdown-files[0] to get a rough idea.
> what's the benefit of using Bangle over Marktext?
I haven't used Marktext, though it looks like a great project. I think the differentiating factor would be:
- Bangle.io is focused more on the overall note taking experience, like backlinks, workspaces, collaboration etc.
- I am planning to allow the ability to add extensions to add more functionality. Being a web app is really conducive for such things.
- It allows you to open multiple tabs, split screen.

I hope you give Bangle.io a shot, there are a bunch of things currently missing, but we will get there <3.
Another free and open source note taking app with WYSIWYG is TagSpaces (https://www.tagspaces.org).
Well, it's not exactly unsustainable - the Github CI continues producing those builds without me having to do anything for it (it in fact didn't break even once in the past year, compared to several breakages on the "backwards-compatible" Ubuntu 18.04 deb which happened whenever Github changed something about the package bundle available to that image). If someone reports a bug on Windows, I will look into it, and/or spend some time walking them through a workaround (since I do in fact have access to Windows setups). As I see it, in the most natural sense of support, I do have support for Windows, even though it is what I guess you would call Tier 2 support.
To nitpick a little, I also didn't say I don't think that those who care about licensing issues would use [the Windows build]; rather, I think that those who don't care about licensing issues and are on Windows would not use it, because there is a Windows-only product that is closed-source which I am unlikely to be able to compete with on that ground.
I'm not really advertising Mac support beyond having some files merged from people who did get it to work (https://github.com/blackhole89/notekit/blob/master/screensho...).
