This seems to be a useful Markdown editor, and the price is right. _ From the dev's website: 1. Purely local, no internet access required, source files saved. 2. Secure, fully open source Github, no user information uploaded. 3. Supports syntax highlighting, dark mode, internationalization, presentation mode, PPT mode, single edit mode, export file, internal jump, document auto typesetting, picture upload, laTeX, mermaid, plantUML, Markmap. . A comment below criticizing the Chinese name of the author does not do service to the developer. If the name of the app had been American, would the commenter have said it was a blatant attempt to hide that it was written by a Chinese-named individual? And what is the point of that, anyway?

A little sense of humor ! How is it possible to give this Chinese name to an application that they want to sell all over the world?
