Improve markdown preview
As for the editor, I hope it will not reformat the text, see the Nextcloud debacle: https://github.com/nextcloud/text/issues/593

Scala Isn't Fun Anymore
Yes, but some 'central' agencies push for specific Markdown formats/use. E.g. Nextcloud [1] wants to use Markdown as a format, to save the output of their wysiwyg text editor. Everytime you open a Markdown file in nextcloud-text, it is 'formatted' correctly, according to the Commonmark specs, and _written_ back, without asking the user.

Is it possible to just view a plain text file in the browser?

Why are basic features so buggy and rated poorly still? here's the contacts app, 3 years later with same bugs
But since you do have concrete PHP experience, you might find it easier to try to work on some of the open issues in one of the Nextcloud repositories. So for example, if you go to the 'Issues' section for the Text app, there are various tags on the issues, and you might be able to start out by helping out with those tagged "Need triage". (i used to triage bug reports for Emacs itself, which is what led me to write this guide to reporting bugs in GNU Emacs.)

Using the web interface throws many (hidden) 404's
It may very well be expected behaviour. See for instance this on Github.
