This looks like a neat app for non-developers, but for dev's it is really hard to beat the VS Code extensions for handling markdown.
My heavily used ones are: Markdown to HTML (copy), which lets you write and preview markdown and then copy+paste it as html into things like newsletters, CMS, etc. as a single step.
The other one is Markdown to PDF, which lets you organize a series of markdown files into a coherent structure and then spits out an ebook on command.
That looks terrific and the price is fair. I am concerned about no open source local client - I don't want to rely on the company if it goes belly up (which is why I actually like paying).
I just recently moved to Org Mode but if I were still in the Markdown ecosystem I would give this tool serious consideration.
open-sourcing is on our roadmap (https://roadmap.acreom.com), when it comes to the data ownership & privacy, acreom is built on technical decisions to deliver both in full fashion.
it's local-first, all your data is stored on your device as regular markdown (no custom md flavor) and works fully offline.
I'm working on something similar (i.e. a content editor for developers) with Vrite, that's already open-source: https://github.com/vriteio/vrite
It's not the same as acreom (leaning more towards a CMS-like platform with API, real-time collab, etc.), but is well-suited for e.g. creating knowledge bases.
that looks so neat! I'm building a modern cross-platform app and aiming for a similar look-and-feel so I'm curious what your stack looks like, especially the UI (it's not a note-taking app but more like spreadsheets and presentations, so I promise I'm not a competitor!)
* create folder
* create page in folder
* create new page while this previous page was open
* Observe that new page is not created in current folder. Go find page in all pages and open
* Go to page info and try to change location
* App crash
most of the acreom users who switched from obsidian switched over because of the UI, out of the box tasks implementation, integrations (Jira, Github etc.) and many other features which require plugins are do not provide the best experience.
acreom is designed specifically for devs and makes it easy to bring all relevant context in one place, create and track progress on your projects and capture stuff quickly.
I hear you but also in that case why not just use something like Github/Linear directly? I'm really attracted to what you're doing but when I think through it I already feel well served by stuff like Linear if it's "task" work I'm mainly trying to capture.
what acreom gets you is really be able to have your personal context tied together with the team context. Devs use it to handle they day to day, capture standup notes, create their own tasks, and when they work on large feature they can easily link that to the github PR or issue in Jira (soon Linear as well) give it a try, would love to know your feedback!
What about non-devs? Not long ago I helped a non-technical friend make a website, a static one using Vuepress and Markdown files. One of the first things I did was pick a Markdown editor for her. I settled on Macdown but it's not fully visual. A fully visual one would have been much nicer for her.
But for some content I had to use escape hatches and use raw HTML. I wonder whether this app supports raw HTML.
My heavily used ones are: Markdown to HTML (copy), which lets you write and preview markdown and then copy+paste it as html into things like newsletters, CMS, etc. as a single step.
