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?

~~I can reccommend Trilium. I think it has what you're looking for.~~ | Nevermind. Looks like the project is in maintenance mode for now.

https://github.com/TriliumNext/Notes is a fork that appears to be actively developed. Found it near the end of the issue linked from the maintenance notice.

Although it says it "imports Markdown" so not sure if it is an actual Markdown format editor.

Trilium supports writing notes in multiple formats, including Markdown.

I was thinking more of its native file format it saves to. It said "import from Markdown" which seemed to suggest it is not saving all in Markdown (otherwise would have said opens and saves to). But maybe it is just badly worded.

Ah, you’re right - Trilium doesn’t use file-backed notes at all - it saves them in a database (I think Sqlite but I’m not positive).
