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!

My software uses ConTeXt to typeset into PDF.

I've been using Typora for years. It has a pretty great export/print.

+1 for Typora. One of the things I like is that it gives you some flexibility in how it handles images you drag into a document for embedding purposes.

My favorite option is the one where it automatically colocates assets by creating a folder with the same name as the file, appends `.assets` to it (<filename>.assets), copies the image there, and then automatically sets up the preview and embed.

Recently adopted https://github.com/marktext/marktext as I wanted the editable preview that Obsidian offers, but for all .md, not just items in my vault. I dig it so far. And it does offer printing of the render.

most of these editors offer pdf exports and the ones that don't they offer html ones that can easily be exported in the browser too. Isn't this enough?

not an app per se, but pandoc is great...

Obsidian has a pdf export, but it's overkill for just writing

vscode + pandoc ... work like a charm (incl. side by side preview)
