> Electron Markdown editor with monthly subscription to boot.

Beautiful as it is, you're competing with Bear using the sub model, and my common sense to use buy-once native apps (like Sublime Text). This is a non-starter for me.

Bear has no Android app, and no LaTeX support either, so this works better for me.
But Bear is also subscription based? Which buy-once app are you using.
Yeah, but Bear has this huge following around it already and is OSX native, although it is missing e2e encryption support so Inkdrop has this going for it.

As for me I'm just using sublime text with a bunch of plugins and Markor on my phone. Resilio to sync between the devices.

I also use Bear and really like it, but I don't think the fact that something already has a huge following around it should be an argument. By that rationale we'd never switch to anything new.
My point is that it's a big competition for him.

Bear has a development team and it's $1.49 monthly, even cheaper if you buy annually (I know that that it leverages iCloud, but even then - you can spend 1$ and get 50 gigs of storage to use for anything you want).

Not to even mention that there are so many alternatives. Markdown editor is the new todo app. Everybody is doing one, just look at this thread.

Most important comment. Took me about 3 unnecessary minutes to find that information; should have looked in the comments first.
