I only have 1 markdown editor, in nextcloud. Is there an app that let's me write markdown and then save as .md for publication by something that makes that HTML?

What do you mean markdown editor?

I thought the idea was that you can just write it as plain text in something like notepad.exe

markdown isn't viewed as plain text, though. So a markdown editor lets you edit markdown while seeing what it looks like, with things like "make this highlighted selection bold" as a keypress combo or a button.
