Just to explain further, I’d like to have a text editor always open, where I keep pasting in text with Markdown, save it for archival purposes in a directory, while also seeing a list of the the previously saved files. I could use The Guide or Mempad for this (with the added benefit of being able to organise the files into an outline—which otherwise would be a nice feature to have), but neither of them save in .txt files.
