I don’t want to be too harsh on Laverna, as it’s still in beta, but the Dropbox function is not working properly in the browsers and on the machines I use (Firefox, Chrome, Win7 & Chromebook). If I just hit sync, nothing happens. The only way I was able to trigger it was to change the layout of the page (from “normal” to “fullscreen”, for instance), and then the sync kicks in (which I’m sure is not how it was intended to work). However, then the indicator keeps turning and does not stop by itself, so you don’t know whether the sync has successfully completed or not. Even when I monitored the process in Dropbox, not all the files would sync all the time. This makes it currently an unreliable cloud solution, especially if you’re using someone else’s computer that you leave behind for good, with the false hope that the files had synced.

But otherwise it’s a promising project, I hope they’ll be able to iron these issues out.

Here is something (haven’t had a chance to try it yet) that is both Markdown and WYSIWYG:

Thanks for this. It seems rather similar to Markdown Pad but is cross platform.

In addition it support CriticMarkup which I was not familiar with, but which looks brilliantly intuitive for reviewing plain texts—at least by a single person. I visited its site http://criticmarkup.com/ and found it quite interesting.

I missed the name of this one. It’s called SmartDown, and as of today it also supports text folding, which officially qualifies it as an outliner :)
