MacDown for Mac

Macdown was a very helpful alternative to Mou when Chen Luo abandonned it, but it seems that uranusjr abandonned Macdown too.

Though, it's still lightweight, functional, with good feature (themable, fully markdown support , support of TOC, shell plugin, neat keystrokes, multiple views, tab bar, …), which made it really a complete tool, the market of markdown editors really evolved, and neither paid nor free or FOSS apps are now competing.
Some go to be notes apps (libke Bear, MWeb, which is one of my favorites, but quite expensive, FSNotes, or the open source Joplin, Notable Boostnote). Others become diary on journal tools (MWeb again, or but-now-only-subscription model DayOne), or try to be full writing tool like the veteran iA Writer, ByWord, or the complete-but-now-only-subscription model Ulysses, but also the new FOSS complete Zettlr.

It will end that only nostalgic will use it, since it become not compatible with the last evolution on the OS.
Is use to love but don't open it anymore (except for comparison with other tools).

I haven't used it enough to leave a score yet. But so far, it seems like a nice program.

I don't see how to set the default to open new documents, in "Hide Editor Pane" mode. I'm looking for a general purpose .md viewer and this would be great, if we could do that.

Works just fine for me ; I tried a lot of MD editors and settled for MacDown. Nothing much more to say. Just works.

I used to write articles for the xDev computer magazine (now only do it occassionally), and the editor one day wanted to get the articles in MarkDown format instead of .doc. I tried all the different MarkDown editors and settled on this one, mostly because of its support for all the different syntax colourings for all kinds of programming languages (for the example code in the articles). And I simply liked it with its side by side interface instead of the switching interface of many others. Has been running absolutely stable, even when I accidentally open a file from my DropBox that is already open on another computer. Contacted the developer twice about problems I found - one was solved quickly, the other one was an inherent limitation of the MarkDown system.

Crashes whenever you exit without saving and beachballs. Please test your crappy app.
