Also, it is open source: https://github.com/joemccann/dillinger
It's great to be able to run it locally too, so I can run it offline! But how do you open another file when you're offline? (So no dropbox etc)
Mou is donation based so you can try before you donate. The developer is very responsive and the app is constantly updated.
I really don't get it.
This feels like a different shade of the same idea.

Otherwise, I don't get why you would bother learning several pieces of software, and each probably lacking many features of Sublime or other powerful text editors.
Marked is a smart idea, because people love their text editors.
I've also stopped using iA Writer for their, at times, weird Markdown interpretation.
This is especially bad when there are images on the page. Why not just render the current block and leave the rest of the page as is.
Thanks for the link btw, I've been using Mou and, being as I am, I always like to read source code while learning, so I really appreciate open source apps.
But I also can't help thinking, if you're going to all that effort why not go full WYSIWYG, with Markdown as the file format? (You'd need some kind of support for merge markers I suppose, I guess that'd be kind of tricky.)
You know what it reminds me of? Wordperfect 5.1's Reveal Codes :-)
I can type a # and it will automatically turn the text into a Title which is nice, but any other Markdown-like syntax is printed verbatim, which is odd because when I save and reload it will suddenly render it as Markdown just fine.
If I could write Markdown in this and had some way to refresh the editor to visualize it as an alternative to the insert bindings, personally I'd be sold on this for sure.
Does such a thing exist?
You can edit in both the rich text editor and in the textarea, and changes will get synced across.
That was just a quick demo. There are things that could be improved, especially by switching to a slightly better HTML-to-Markdown library.

I want to totally abolish two window mode and all uncertainties about how the output will look like. my target the same as yours, to make the learning curve less steep.
