Markdown Editor with Obsidian-style Preview (feddit.org)

Hi there,

I am searching for an Markdown Editor, with a similar Live-Preview feature to Obsidian. In particular, I do not want to split the view into source and preview, but have the preview as the main window and only switch to source code for the line/block I am currently editing. Nextcloud uses a similar feature for their in-browser editor, but I need an offline variant.

Do you have any suggestions?

Zettlr does this reasonably well. It doesn't do it by default, though, you have to turn it on in the settings

I'm not entirely sure if this is what you are asking, but it looks like it is: https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr

Looks good and seems to have tab splitting, which marktext laggs. I will check it out, when I have some time. Thanks!

I use zettlr -- it's pretty good! The only issues I've run into are with the table editor, and with occasional lag on large documents; the latter just comes with the territory on an Electron app. I know Nathan's working on both, though.
