Yesterday, an open source project called MarkText made it onto GitHub’s hot list, earning 304 stars in one day.

The open source project is a simple and elegant Markdown editor that focuses on speed and usability and claims to be the next generation Markdown editor for Linux, macOS and Windows.

What are its properties?

What you see is what you get

Similar to the Typora editor, MarkText also has live preview and a clean, clean interface. There are also many extensions, such as Mathematical expressions (KaTeX), front Matter, and emoji.

Beautiful theme

Marktext contains six aesthetic themes: Dark, Ulysses Light, One Dark, Graphite Light, Material Dark, Cadmium Light, Dark.

Source model

Because MarkText is WYSIWYG, the editor also provides a source-available editing mode. You can freely switch between real-time mode and source editing mode.

When you focus on one line of text, make the rest of the text translucent. This will help you focus on your writing and improve your productivity.
