Hi there,
I am searching for an Markdown Editor, with a similar Live-Preview feature to Obsidian. In particular, I do not want to split the view into source and preview, but have the preview as the main window and only switch to source code for the line/block I am currently editing. Nextcloud uses a similar feature for their in-browser editor, but I need an offline variant.
Do you have any suggestions?
I’ve been enjoying Apostrophe:
Joplin has this functionality, although I don’t often use it since I prefer to type directly into the Markdown editor. Whatever you choose, be sure that you’re comfortable with the security and privacy implications of it.
Silverbullet is like that. It is not an electron or native app, you have to run a server and then get to it from the browser.
TLDR it is best run with docker or podman, but IMHO it is pretty good.
Check out Marktext
Looks quite good, I will give it a try. Thanks!
Zettlr does this reasonably well. It doesn’t do it by default, though, you have to turn it on in the settings
I’m not entirely sure if this is what you are asking, but it looks like it is: https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr
Looks good and seems to have tab splitting, which marktext laggs. I will check it out, when I have some time. Thanks!
I can recommend Logseq
Marktext does this for me, can’t compare 100% to Obsidian as I’ve rage uninstalled that several times within an hour of installing it.
I can reccommend Trilium. I think it has what you’re looking for.
https://github.com/TriliumNext/Notes is a fork that appears to be actively developed. Found it near the end of the issue linked from the maintenance notice.
Although it says it “imports Markdown” so not sure if it is an actual Markdown format editor.
Trilium supports writing notes in multiple formats, including Markdown.
I was thinking more of its native file format it saves to. It said “import from Markdown” which seemed to suggest it is not saving all in Markdown (otherwise would have said opens and saves to). But maybe it is just badly worded.
