There are many, many MarkDown editors out there. In fact, there are so many, I was made to rant about their current state not so long ago, and reviewed a strong competitor in the field in the hopes of finding the holy grail MD app, to no avail.
StackEdit 4.0
StackEdit has, through all that time, remained at the top of the browser based MD editor world, but it always lacked a certain something. Most of these shortcomings were addressed in the beta version, but this version was neither very publicly available, nor declared stable - you used it at your own risk of data loss and crashes. I’ve personally been using it reliably for months, but I understand the hesitation of the masses. Last week, however, @benweet finally released the source code of version 4 on Github and geared up for a public release.
New features include a much improved documents panel with proper folder management, so you can stay on top of your files at all times. You can also search for any document in your stack (very important when you have hundreds).
Synchronization with cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, Github and others has been much improved, and I’ve personally been enjoying auto-synchronization with Google Drive for a while now. While I’m typing, my documents get automatically synced up with my cloud services, so there’s no fear of data loss.
You can now also add inline comments to your documents, allowing you to share them with others and collaborate in a very dynamic manner. The actual sharing of documents could still use some work, but one thing at a time.
