I use geditfor most of my text editing, but markdown support is very limited.
Things I’ve tried:
- vscode, too heavy and intrusive
- Google docs, only renders, doesn’t show the plain text, need to manually export to see markdown
- Eclipse, haven’t actually tried markdown, but I have no doubt that it’s supported, but heavier than anything else
- atom, no longer developed last time I checked
- online editor, don’t want to share my text and functionality is poor
- type markdown, save it and render with pandoc, lots of effort, but the results are good
Over to you.
Had a quick look for glow but couldn’t find it. I didn’t know about pulsar. Is it more stable than atom, which managed to fall over when ever I looked at it sideways, a bit like the ZX80 keyboard which would cause a reboot if you dared to think about touching it, that said, reboot was much faster than atom starting up. Does pulsar take the same absurd amount of time?
Oh, not sure where I got glow from. Will have a look.
Pulsar is a fork of atom and is in active development, it can still be a little slow sometimes. But is now getting updates to make it run better
