    Markdown Prism – A Non-Electron Markdown Editor for macOS▲5

    Hi HN, I built a macOS-native Markdown viewer/editor called Markdown Prism. Website: https://prism.huconn.xyz GitHub: https://github.com/hulryung/markdown-prism I originally built this for myself. I wanted a lightweight Markdown viewer on macOS that: wasn’t Electron-based rendered GFM properly supported LaTeX math and Mermaid diagrams worked fully offline Most native apps I tried were either minimal but missing key features (math, diagrams), or full-featured but Electron apps. I wanted something in between — native feel, but with the mature JS Markdown…

    LightPaper for Mac – Free Markdown editor▲132

    I'm not the author of the app (nor i have any connection with them, just a random user). iA Writer and Writer Pro aren't well suited for me as a developer. They feel quite "strange" to me. Mou is a good option (free too) but still missing some features. So far this, this editor is the most complete user-friendly. Hope it helps!
