Show HN: Write.md – A free, open-source, themeable Markdown editor for macOS

I've been looking for a markdown editor that let's me print the rendered view and have yet to find one. Which is quite surprising given how many there are. I just use my own webapp for now, should probably open source it in case anyone else is looking for this functionality.

If you know of a nice mac app that let's me easily write / view and print markdown I'd love to hear from you!

Electron? No thanks.

There must be something fascinating about writing Markdown apps - either it scratches an itch, or AI is really good at creating them. There's a flood of them on r/macapps and similar places.

how is it different from obsidian?

Since it's Electron why not have a Windows version of the app too?

Honestly the first time I’ve seen an app use the glass aesthetic as a selling point

How does this compare to Typora? That's the leader in this market as far as I can tell.

I've started getting warnings from MacDown about how it'll stop working soon because Rosetta or something. I like the side by side view, but sadly this isn't that.

edit: Oh, electron?!

I wish we can have a good markdown support with images ala GitHub (good days).

Why is everybody so stoked about Markdown? Isn't Asciidoc better in about every aspect?

I'm not sure people seeing "Made for Apple silicon" will expect an Electron app.

There's also MarkEdit[0], which is essentially "TextEdit for Markdown" and is definitely _not_ Electron-based:

> For perspective: at just 4 MB, MarkEdit is much smaller than Electron apps. Handling a 10 MB file with ease puts it ahead of TextKit-based editors. Performance-first editors built with Rust lack native features, while correctness alone rules out editors that rely on regex-based Markdown parsing.

small bit of feedback, "Rice it until it feels like yours." is pretty jargon heavy for a landing page, i don't think all that many people outside linux/tech use that term, why not "customize"?

SubEthaEdit is still around and open source. It supports Markdown side-by-side view along with numerous other languages. Excellent lightweight (26mb, native) editor, available directly via the macOS store at no cost.

For Macs, there is iA Writer already. Why don't you make something equally polished for other platforms? I am genuinely interested, I always wanted iA Writer for Linux. Everything I tried falls short.
