Markdown everywhere

Ha, yes, Typora - I entirely agree with you; what a superb Markdown editor it is!

It’s just a bit tragic that there isn’t an iOS version, but it’s vastly superior to almost everything else for sheer stunning elegance if nothing else. For those who don’t know, Typora uses MultiMarkdown (i.e. tables, tasks, etc.), but the hybrid preview you’ll be familiar with from e.g. Bear, Ulysses etc. is in fact a full preview. Only when you start editing a header or sentence does it either show the markdown code or, e.g. in the case of tables, a very clever embedded menu that offers you additional formatting options.

The only downside? It’s very much a single-file app, so no library etc. If you want a similar app that also has a more sophisticated hybrid preview (not unlike Typora), take a look at TextNut.
