Ask HN: Are there any messaging apps supporting Markdown? I'd like to easily send formatted code, and bullet points, etc. through a messaging app without having to resort to a heavy app like Slack. |

Zulip supports ~CommonMark Markdown: https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/subsystems/markdown.h...
Reddit supports Markdown. https://www.reddit.com/wiki/markdown
Discourse now supports CommonMark Markdown.
GitHub, BitBucket, GitLab and Gogs/Gitea support Markdown.
It's worth noting that GH/BB/GL have all foregone PM features; probably for the better in terms of productivity: messaging @all is likely more productive.
You can register for a free personal account with only an email, no requirement for phone number or contacts upload.
riot-desktop and Riot Android are solid.
RiotX on Android quickly catching up, has very modern UI, but no room management/calls yet.
People seem to love FluffyChat.
Don't waste your time with Fractal.
