I wanted some recommendations on the best FOSS GUI Markdown editors. My current one is MarkText, so any good equivalent alternatives to it ?

Thanks in advance👌

Geany with Markdown plugin

[-] biotin7@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

How does one make that plugin work on geany ?

[-] linuxPIPEpower@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago

it generates an html preview in a sidebar.

the benefit over any other 2 column editor is that geany is a real text editor with lots of shortcuts, configs and tools. so the editing part is a lot better. markdown is just kind of tacked on though.
