Looking for a good README editor. With maybe git functionality, but not necessary

Like adding shields/badges/assets within automatically
managing a directory like structure by generating new MD files in a directory like folder structure.

Essentially an IDE like environment just for markdown file management and a WYSIWYG editing experience

Any text editor that can edit markdown files with syntax highlighting? What kind of git functionality do you want? If you want to see the formatting in place as you edit, look for a WYSIWYG editor (Ghostwriter and Typora come to mind). I use Neovim and have lazygit opened in another terminal tab.

Well VSCode has a markdown preview extension. Otherwise Obsidian might be what you want

yeah VS code with extensions is pretty good enough to be honest. I keep forgetting VSCode has a whole in-depth world of plugins.

Typora is really cool, wish it was OS though. Although the one-time purchase isn't too bad

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's also why I use Ghostwriter as a Typora replacement. The KDE team developed it.

Marktext is my favourite app that is very typora-like
