I wanted some recommendations on the best FOSS GUI Markdown editors. My current one is MarkText, so any good equivalent alternatives to it ?

Thanks in advance👌

    CryptPad is a browser-based office suite like Google Workspace, and one of its document types is rich text, text that can be italics, strikethrough, subscript, ​​​​​​​and stuff.

    You can export those as Markdown.

    This comment was written in CryptPad.

    I use Obsidian for all of my personal notes on Android and Linux. Syncthing keeps the vault synchronized between the two.

    Assuming you’re running Linux and don’t need any advanced features, Apostrophe works well. Obsidian is also a great cross-platform option.

    Also using MarkText & also interested in this.

    Ideally I’d like something like a Markdown word processor with toolbar & buttons to do things:

    • to tide me over until I learn the shortcuts
    • to overcome shortcuts that don’t work on my keyboard (MarkText at least offers a GUI way to remap shortcuts. Typora had 80% broken shortcuts & expected me to hack a JSON to fix their shit. And what passed for instructions on that didn’t work.)
