I feel like a lot of Markdown editors get posted on HN. Some of them seem pretty cool, but it gets hard to keep track of them all after a while. Has anyone tried keeping a running list of these editors with their pros and cons?

I maintain an inventory¹ of Markdown dialects, editors, parsers, stylesheets, etc. — basically just some lists with links. They’re in YAML, though, so you may want to add extra info (like a short description with pros/cons), and file a pull request. I am considering to split the list of editors² into one for native apps, and another for web-based implementations (such as EpicEditor).

by the way, thanks for maintaining that fantastic resource!

Thanks!

By the way: I’m very curious about your “zen markup language” in the make. Got some unfinished work in my drawers on “the best possible tool for writers”, too. Some more research, wireframes, and a few drafts on an _extensible_ markdown-like lightweight markup language. E.g. this little discussion: https://twitter.com/rhythmvs/status/423123272809455616

I sympathize with the idea of poet-turned-programmer. Maybe have a chat?
