Open

A standalone markdown editor / reader

# Description

Markdown is becoming more common, especially when working with AI tools. If I could, I would drop Word entirely. But two things keep me tied to it: (1) collaborating and reviewing documents together, and (2) it's simply more pleasant to read your document in.

I love how Markdown renders in Capacities, and I wish I could use that same auto-rendered view everywhere. Unfortunately, that usually means relying on a separate application. I can open a Markdown file in an IDE like VS Code, but that feels too heavy for the task. I can open it in Notepad++ or neovim, but then it's not beautifully formatted. Typora is a good example of an app that gets this right, and it's what I currently use. Though I wish it had more of the Capacities experience, like its shortcuts.

I considered building this myself using the new Capacities API, but replicating the full Capacities experience from scratch would take a lot of time, especially since you already have all the UI components in place.

# Proposal / Request

Please build a standalone lean/quick Markdown editor/reader that can open, edit, and save Markdown files. If possible, add a sync button to automatically store the file in Capacities.

Thank you, capacities-team, for considering. I know this might be a bit of an unusual request, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask!
