Amazing editor, not only I've left the other MD editors for it but also OneNote for general note taking, almost. So many goodies in it!
What does it cost? I tried the "Purchase" button, but it just links back to the front page.
@frassmith It's $25 for a lifetime license - about the button not working - is it possible that you have javascript disabled? Thanks
@erusev Thanks, I never disable javascript, but you're on the right track. Privacy Badger was blocking the off-site calls to paddle.com. I'm happy to leave it that way. I try to avoid paddle.com these days.
@erusev Yes. I made two purchases of identical amounts (for different products) within about half an hour of each other. One was never delivered. Paddle ignored all attempts to contact them via all channels. Eventually, they responded to Paypal investigation by declaring that goods had been delivered, citing first successful purchase and ignoring all references to the second (even though Paypal records confirmed both transactions).
I got a refund, but it came from Paypal, not Paddle.
It could have been resolved very easily if their customer service had responded and opened a dialogue with me.
Since then, I try to avoid Paddle.
I've tried and used a barrage of Markdown editors and slowly but surely, Caret is edging toward becoming my number 1 choice for anything Markdown related. The team behind it simply strengthens this position given that bugs are resolved rather quickly and feature requests are considered, discussed and normal (when they make sense and possible), promptly implemented.
Caret put me in very thought spot. Usually I use iA Writer for my serious markdown writing. But Caret handles code and table blocks a lot better.
@allanmacgregor Hi Allan, they should automatically get the upgrade - free of charge.
I wasn't feeling like I needed a new Markdown editor. It seems that I was wrong. Loving the product!
Long time super-heavy user here, couldn't be happier. There's some features it could use, but the devs are very responsive to bug requests and advice ★★★★★
Gorgeous interface and impressive functionality. Sublime-like title browser and command palette are really awesome, and I love how the preview window can be toggled on/off so quickly. Focus mode is super slick as well. Great job everyone!
Things I like:
1. Git integration gutter - a useful feature, for visual reference.
2. Extend selection - This is something I like to use, although ideally, I would prefer to have vim selection abilities lol.
3. Multiple Selections
Things I don't like
1. I'm not sold on the split-screen live preview feature that so many markdown editors seem to have subscribed. Markdown should be about focusing on the content, not the syntax - which is why I feel it's best to have an automatic preview on the same pane. Only when editing a line, should one need to view the syntax.
2. I am not a fan of the color schemes.
I think this has some promise, but I will stick to Typora for now since it's a better choice for me.
@erickbarron86 Thanks Eric, we appreciate the feedback - do you think you can elaborate on the color schemes issue - is there anything specific that you don't like there? Thanks
Love this app. Works so well. Especially on windows where there are few good markdown editors
