TIL is actually a foundation of my knowledge, although I have a different approach - I keep Markdown files categorized by subject (e.g. `git`, `ruby`), essentially, notebooks.

The ultimate goal is both to memorize and to keep references to useful snippets or quirks I may need in the future - I actually use them very frequently (it's a format that tends not to be useful to the general public, though).

In the long term, some subjects become small books. Amusingly, by far, the largest notebook is Rust - around 15k words, and I am still an advanced beginner (!).

I really miss a program that is very good for both editing and viewing Markdown! I currently use an always-open VSC; reading Markdown is ok, but not super convenient.

I like Typora for this, because by default it's WYSIWYG but you can switch to Markdown whenever you need to. https://typora.io/


I like haroopad for editing markdown, especially the option to export styled html is nice. Another nice editor (with a different scope, it's a note taking app) is Joplin. You can even paste an image and it will get inserted into the markdown as file.


I do the same with a snippet manager. The one I use [1] is also a decent markdown editor / viewer.

Assuming you know about stuff similar to obsidian.md (markdown left, rendered right) and Typora (rendered where you edit), what is missing for you in terms of editing/viewing MDs? What makes current stuff bad?


inkdrop might fit the bill for editing/viewing markdown. It's paid, but i get value from it.
