Laverna, online Markdown editor with local storage, encryption, multiple notebook support, Dropbox syncing, tasks and more:

Here’s a brief article on it:

The code is Open Source so the tinkerers among us can even install Laverna on their own server.

Alexander, thanks for posting this. Editorially is shutting down this month, and I’ve been looking for a replacement, and this looks just the ticket! I see that they’re comparing themselves to Evernote. That looks a bit (over)ambitious. However, this might be a perfect replacement for Editorially, in combination with Dropbox.

Hm, syncing with Dropbox is a bit choppy (at least in Firefox 29). This is a bit of a concern. I would want a bit more confirmation that a document had been synced successfully.
Also, the files are saved as .json, which is not ideal, if one would want to carry on editing the file in a plain text editor locally. At the moment copy and paste seems to be the only way to export and import text within the browser interface. Also, it’s not that easy to see within the .json file in Dropbox whether all recent changes have been saved, as the JSON code makes it difficult to check in a long document.
