@akkartik oh my. i love the kind of bespoke, small use software you advocate, but it’d be silly to devote time to this.
i end up doing most of my markdown in emacs, but i like a WSIWYGish app that syncs between phone and laptop for getting started, a way to short circuit my pretty strong writing aversion by jotting a first draft anywhere.
i’ve been using the notetaking app craft, but i’m finding it quirky, somewhat disappointing recently. so i’m wondering if there are similar apps people love.
@buermann i do a lot of that in emacs!
but i’ve found it convenient to start first drafts in an app accessible on all my devices, then to export into emacs as markdown and go through my rounds of editing there.
i guess it’s an attempt to minimize the psychological barrier to entry of getting started. i can jot something on a phone app, rather than “sit down for a session”. my psychological barrier to opening up an emacs buffer is somehow lower for writing code than text.
What's your favorite writing environment that exports nicely to markdown?

// great point.
it used to be “apres moi, le deluge”, but now every political actor makes its case as “sans moi, le deluge.” our politics has given up on hope for the efficiency of blackmail.
