The github sync functionality of this app excited me, because my current workflow is: 1. Open MGit and pull changes from origin main 2. Open Markor and make changes 3. Switch back to MGit and commit and push changes

Unfortunately this app doesn't hold a candle to Markor when it comes to editing and navigating. - Navigating links between files is a pro feature - There is no markdown syntax highlighting while editing - There is no way to favorite or bookmark files to easily navigate to them

As someone who uses GitHub and Markdown as a personal wiki this app doesn't have the features required to be usable for me.

Looks like MGit will continue to be an unfortunate part of my life.

When GitJournal boots, it autocommits and pushes any untracked changes. You could use it to avoid having to click around in mGit.

If you had to pick one feature, which I could implement to help, which would it be?

Not parent but i feel i share some of his concerns: an even better markdown editor would be nice. The current one is better than a lot of others but would love if it eventually supported more markdown concepts.

Personally i have these things that bother me:

* an option for a fixed width font in markdown editor (i like the look of the raw editor but i like the convenience of the markdown one)

* code syntax highlighting

* creating/changing tables with less effort

* very aggressive quoted text styling in light mode

Thanks for making reasonable software. :)
