This seems perfect for all my non-technical friends who want to blog. Maybe a local WYSIWYG text editor that converted to markdown would be the perfect complement for anyone who doesn't know it already. That, or maybe they should just learn markdown haha.

WYSIWYG can be counter-intuitive. I would prefer a large textarea for entering Markdown and a live preview aside (like the Reddit Enhancement Suite does).

A good think with Markdown is that learning can be incremental: at first, you just write some text. Later, with the preview, or with a short guide always displayed under the textarea, you learn that you can do some formatting.

On the other hand, people using WYSIWYG will go the other way: the will first see they can do a lot of stuff, and later get confused when stuff does not behave in the expected way.

I've been using Dillinger.io a bit for that, but really what I would like is to be able to do that in ST3 native.

I heard Atom.io already does that, but I haven't been able to get it running on my laptop, and npm just keeps littering my filesystem with its `node_modules' directories.

What about using a program for that like iA Writer on the Apple platform, which than is synced via Dropbox to that server?

In fact I am using that, but with a different Markdown blogging plattform. ;o)
