  1. Now when you go to https://vscode.dev, you'll be presented with a lightweight version of VS Code running fully in the browser.
    Since you're the author of Bangle.io and it seems the latter is based on bangle.dev[0] which in turn is based on ProseMirror(?), why did you decide to make Bangle's interface look like that of VS Code / Monaco[1]? On a different note, IMO using Electron for an app is not a bad choice <i>per se</i>. It's just that <i>editors</i> written in web technologies usually suck because they are so slow compared to, say, Vim/Emacs/Sublime. Is ProseMirror really that much better (faster) than Monaco/VS Code? If not, what's the benefit of using Bangle over Marktext? (Sure, running Marktext/Electron will use up additional RAM compared to running Bangle in an existing browser. But to be honest CPU load is much more important to me.)

    To the best of my knowledge this (Marktext) is the only free/open-source Markdown editor that has WYSIWYG (like Typora: https://typora.io/). Not a separate preview window, but the actual editor window renders each Markdown "block" (paragraph, list item, whatever) except the one you're editing.

  5. A GTK3 hierarchical markdown notetaking application with tablet support.
    I've been working on one (https://github.com/blackhole89/notekit) for a while now (which, unlike the aforementioned, also is not built on Chrome/Electron). Unfortunately it seems to be pretty hard to get the word out, or at least I haven't found any better strategy than to pounce, as I am doing now, whenever I see a HN thread about markdown editors (which invariably wind up having some comment thread lamenting the lack of WYSIWYG and/or non-Electron editors).

  6. A simple CMS for Jekyll and Hugo sites.
    There are several Git-based CMS options, like Forestry: https://forestry.io/ Note that these include editors that aren't as good as a standalone editor but work fine for most content.

  7. A markdown editor for desktop.
    It falls in the same category of WYSIWYG as http://abricotine.brrd.fr/.
