Many Markdown Editors

So I was going to write a post listing a bunch of Markdown Editors for Windows, Mac, and the web… Really. But, then I started Googling, and I came across this:

And this:

You know what. That’s just piling on. 78 tools?!?

Anyway, it just so happens that I am composing this post in an editor not mentioned in one of those massive and not at all intimidating articles. It’s called stackedit.io.

StackEdit is a free, open-source Markdown editor based on PageDown, the Markdown library used by
Stack >Overflow and the other Stack Exchange sites.

By default, StackEdit stores documents in your browser’s local storage, but it can sync with Google Drive or Dropbox. It can also publish directly to several different places such as WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr, Github and others.

If you want to host your own copy of StackEdit, the source is here.
