Has performance improved at all? I tried it years ago and while it was *very* attractive, I found it unusable because of severe input lag. It would take almost a full second from the time I hit a key until the character was displayed on screen. I'd test it myself, but my PC is under a heavy load at the moment and will be for another day.

It should run fine once I finish with the task at hand since I now have a six-core multi-threaded processor, but that kind of power shouldn't be necessary just to run a text editor.

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.
