You see, on the one hand I think this is kind of admirable. Yay, I type my markdown over here and I can instantly see the bits I got wrong over there.

But I also can't help thinking, if you're going to all that effort why not go full WYSIWYG, with Markdown as the file format? (You'd need some kind of support for merge markers I suppose, I guess that'd be kind of tricky.)

You know what it reminds me of? Wordperfect 5.1's Reveal Codes :-)

Trying this out now, It's actually pretty nice. I get that It's a visual editor that uses Markdown as a storage format, but it still would be nice if it would actually let me type Markdown - interestingly it seems to be pretty indecisive on whether or not I should be able to that.

I can type a # and it will automatically turn the text into a Title which is nice, but any other Markdown-like syntax is printed verbatim, which is odd because when I save and reload it will suddenly render it as Markdown just fine.

If I could write Markdown in this and had some way to refresh the editor to visualize it as an alternative to the insert bindings, personally I'd be sold on this for sure.

I would rather type than reach for the mouse. Vim, anyone?
