Sounds a lot like something like Notion?

Notion is very sluggish and feels very unlike a markdown file-based system to me.
Agreed, I like certain aspects of Notion, but as a FE dev myself, I think what they’re trying to do is too complex. I don’t see how they could ever make it performant.
Notion doesn't use Markdown.
Just type in markdown :-). It mostly works for input.
Sure, you can add asterisks around things and it will convert stuff to bold, etc, but Notion isn't actually a markdown-based app – the underlying representation of a Notion doc is stored as JSON.
