Edit: Just in case anyone was searching the same as me: After all of the suggestions, I'll probably be using Typedown on PC, which is built with WinUI, which is the native framework for Windows apps. if you're not on Windows, Vmark is also really good and actively mantained as of now. Marktext also seems good but it's no longer mantained. For mobile I still haven't really found anything incredible, but maybe Markor or medit.ai could be nice. Thanks for all the suggestions!
Hi. I'm looking for a simple and lightweight markdown editor which can confortably handle large documents. I'd mainly like to write summarries to study for my classes and any essay I also have to do.
The main things I'm looking for are:
- FOSS: Typora seemed great for me, but I'd preffer if I could avoid relying on closed-source software. I'm a bit paranoid, I know, I just don't want any surprises in the future, even if it's unlikely (it already happened to me with Unity, and recently with Adobe Animate... Just to be safe). Besides, I don't really want to pay for it right now. Maybe in the future, but just not now.
- Simple: I don't need linking notes together, plugins or things like that. I've tried Obsidian for the studying part of my objective, but it just doesn't resonate with me. It's good, don't get me wrong, just not for me.
- WYSIWYG: Self-explanatory. I don't really need split view or other modes, WYSIWYG is just fine.
- Multiplatform: Ideally I'd like Windows and Android so I can also write on the go. Mymain priority is still Windows though.
- PDF export: Self-explanatory again. I don't need HTML or things like that, just PDF. Bonus points if it can combine multiple files together.
- LaTeX support: Basically for math. It's really convenient and it looks really good, at leats on what I tried.
Idk if I'm too picky, I just couldn't find one that suits me on my own. Thanks in advance if you have any.
