I use geditfor most of my text editing, but markdown support is very limited.
Things I’ve tried:
- vscode, too heavy and intrusive
- Google docs, only renders, doesn’t show the plain text, need to manually export to see markdown
- Eclipse, haven’t actually tried markdown, but I have no doubt that it’s supported, but heavier than anything else
- atom, no longer developed last time I checked
- online editor, don’t want to share my text and functionality is poor
- type markdown, save it and render with pandoc, lots of effort, but the results are good
Over to you.
If u wanna avoid the intrusiveness of vscode u can use codium for a fully foss experience
Now with AI, hard pass.
It doesn’t have any ai unless u add an ai extension. I use continue pointed at openwebui that uses a self hosted model full foss ai tool chain. And again its optional.
