alt Hacker NewsObsidian has a quick shortcut to switch between view mode and edit mode, end their edit mode is actually partially formatted (# headers are displayed in a bigger font)
> Not to mention handling the various differences between Markdown flavors
Funnily enough, I was looking for Python markdown to HTML rendering library, and the author of one of the biggest two closed a bug on me reporting a minor incompatibility saying "that is GitHub format, we don't support it, we only support CommonMark, GitHub format is non-standard and broken".

> edit mode is actually partially formatted
Obsidian's edit mode is 99.99% formatted. It only omits HTML symbol shorthands like "→". Other than it's completely formatted, WYISWYG as you type fashion.
Reading mode is more like a Read Only toggle on a floppy disk. Prevents accidental edits.
Obsidian is the exact "or build an entirely separate app" that they said. It's an app just for Markdown
