Off-topic a little bit, but some feedback for your editor:
I saw Kraa when you posted it here on HN, and decided to give it another go, even though I remembered that I dismissed it quickly the first time.
I only got shy beyond the first line -- Kraa breaks words anywhere to wrap to the next line, really a no go for me, at least in Markdown (it's different if I enable word-wrap in my code editor).
Played around a little more and the editing experience is not great (for my needs):
- Kraa hides '#', so I can't remove the header style from headers. The context menu does not offer to change to paragraph style. - Kraa uses non-standart '[]' for tasks, instead of the more common '- [ ]' and '- [x]'.
Slick UI, sure. However if I cannot edit Markdown, I don't consider it a Markdown editor. Like Notion is also not a Markdown editor, even if I can type '# ' to get a heading.
Thank you, this is great feedback. I hope you will try to give Kraa another chance in the future as it should have at least these points covered.
- An option to render markdown syntax vs immediate translation is coming
- The horrendous bug around word-wrap (in firefox only) should be fixed within days
- adding [ ] for tasks as an alt to [].
As for changing paragraph style, this is purposefully 'hidden' inside the leaf settings (with tons of customization options for everything, not just paragraphs).
