I've been looking for a replacement to Mou for a while, and I'm excited to see Haroopad offering not only Markdown support but also a bunch of other features (especially MathJax and intelligent autocomplete). I'll definitely try it out.

Am I the only one getting messed up character encodings?

I'm under the impression the authors are Korean; it's the only language besides English unattributed in the translations list, and the English localization has a few rough edges suggesting non-native speakers.

not messed up, it's just written in Korean.

I see, now it makes sense.

Math doesn't show up in the viewer, which kind of defeats the point of allowing math markup... otherwise promising. [I'm on Windows 8.1]

After further examination, a number of the features claimed on the website seem to be missing (at least on Windows).

I don't get PDF export, math mode is not enabled by default (and enabling it breaks the super/subscript text-mode notation; they're apparently mutually exclusive), the social media embedding doesn't seem to work either (I tried embedding a youtube video and it just puts up a throbber). This shows a lot of promise, but is very broken right now.

Also, the preferences dialog is buried in the "File" menu ... which I don't think is a standard location on any platform.

Doesn't work on Ubuntu 14.04. Downloaded the .deb and clicking the icon doesn't do anything.

Maybe it's libudev.so.0 issue. You can get information about this issue. - http://haroopad.userecho.com/topic/226287-linux-ubuntu-1304-...
