For me, the most satisfying markdown editor is Typora(https://typora.io/), which doesn't need a separate preview pane to show the rendered contents. But I haven't tried the Math support of it yet.

After using Typora for a long time, I really don't think a separate preview is that necessary.

I liked Typora but I ran into issues with cursor placement in complex LaTeX blocks. Do you know if they've been fixed?

a separate preview is unnecessary for some users, it's true.

but when you're using a full range of complex features, it is.

and when something isn't displaying the way you intend, you often need to view the input _with_ the output, to see exactly what's causing the problem and to test possible solutions.

i also found that, while typora is good at showing what the output looks like in a browser-window which is sized exactly like the one you are typing in, it's less informative at showing what the content will look like in a .pdf or a .mobi or an .epub.

and, just for the sake of completion here, typora also became very unresponsive when i tested it with large files. again, not everyone will have that problem, but some users definitely will.

but i'll give typora another go, and see if it's improved since i last tried it...

Agreed, Typora has this nailed. Separate edit/preview panes seem clunky by comparison now.

I just found out about it last night. It's really an awesome markdown editor! The only thing I wish it had was a way to embed another markdown document and have a preview as well as a PDF. But those aren't a deal breaker for me.

Typora seems nice, but it seems it's not in the browser... Sometimes it's ok, but sometimes it's cool to have a solution in the browser (shared computer, university computer, etc.) where you cannot install any binaries.

I wholeheartedly agree, Typora is my favourite markdown editor. For those few times you really need to just edit the markdown you can quickly turn off rendering and switch into source mode by hitting cmd-/.

Why not give VNote(https://github.com/tamlok/vnote/) a try? :)

That webdesign though, sat for a minute looking at the first image because I thought it was a loadingscreen. Who makes a 4K white image with some animated text on it as their header?!

probably just the windows version, but I find Typora has a terrible lag when typing if there's any strain on the CPU at the time. Dropbox was eating up 30% and Typora keystrokes slowed to what felt like 500ms response time.

Typora looks amazing, thanks for sharing!
