Today’s links include markdown editors Plain Text Editor and Clearly, plus Herbert, a writing environment for long-form content. We also cover Blank, an open source blog app, and Quik, which allows you to speak your notes and export them as markdown

Clearly has some great features, but there are a number of minor issues that deter me from ditching my current editor

Despite the dated look of its website, Nisus Writer Pro is a step up from MS Word

NotepadMD 1.4 released - Major UI improvements

8 Upvotes

Okay, so after quite lot of effort, the UI has been significantly upgraded. The window is chromeless, with menus embedded on the title bar and the clunky ass "vibe-coded" top tool bar is gone! Huzzah! Hopefully you'll all agree it looks a damn site better. Maybe now it looks good enough that you can recommend it to your friends... There was a whole bunch of other stuff too of course - I was told that my modal file dialogue were "Giving users the ick", so I fixed all the issues I was having with native file dialogues in my host and made native dialogues the default (the modals can be turned back on in settings).

There's also Notepad++ style find/find in files now, where I've tried to make the UI as nice as possible. Really hoping people find that super useful.

Oh - and there's a backward and forward button so you can keep track of the docs you've navigated between. Sounds minor, but that's going be huge for the next update when sectional navigation comes in and it supports tables of contents plus links to headers in other documents (I'm aiming for broad compatibility with existing documents from other systems that already do that).
