Sorry to hijack the thread, but I am so excited by this. I have always kept my developer log in vim, and I basically run my life from it, but I've always wanted inline preview, a system wide hotkey, and cross platform file sync that doesn't require giving my unencrypted data to a cloud provider. I have found a lot of markdown apps with preview and sync, but none of them support vim bindings, which is a deal breaker. I looked for so long that I decided I would have to build it myself, and then I see this! You have a new customer. :)

Edit: before anyone chimes in, yes I know you can use quake-style terminals, and rsync, and any number of vim plugins, but I need it to work seamlessly on all three desktop platforms.

Edit 2: and it has mobile support too! This literally checks every box I had in my feature list.

If youre a tinkerer it's always possible to just use plain vim and a repository. Of you want that repo end to end encrypted, keybase could be an option.

You'd lose out on mobile though and this project looks pretty neat if you're willing to pay

That's what I've been doing, but it's a pain in the butt to commit and push every time I make an edit.
