@EpiphanicSynchronicity Done and done. You've got my vote.

Also on the subject of #iAWriter I'm surprised there's no WYSIWYG option. @obsidian @obsidianmd @logseq @drafts and @typora have it. I'm a markdown newbie, having to see the raw form is distracting when writing. It actually makes me hesitant to keep typing wondering about my raw formatting.

Thanks for the upvote!

Although I’d very much like to see it happen, #iA Writer will probably never have live preview (@reichenstein personally dislikes it), but I’m still hoping for a toggle to make the markdown characters light gray so they don’t fight with the text.

If you know how to turn on live preview in #Drafts, please let me know. I don’t see it in the settings.

@EpiphanicSynchronicity @Calixthe @obsidian @obsidianmd @logseq @drafts I have a much more differentiated view on WYSIWYG than just "disliking" it. I think basic markdown (#*-) is everything but distracting. But links, images, tables, etc are.

I view plump old school WYSIWYG as a step back. I dislike the show/hide wiggle. And I think that if you see md just as a more readable text format that needs to be hidden you misunderstand it.
