Here is yet another one. Looks like it’s from France. Haven’t had a chance to try it yet but looks interesting:

Indeed. And some unexpected news about OmniOutliner, which is about to become a “new” Markdown editor. From DaringFireball.net:

Hm, I don’t seem to be able to download the installer. I tried downloading Abricotine-win32-x64.zip for Abricotine 0.2.2, but it gets stuck at about 51.7 MB of 73.4 MB.
I was going to try it on a Win7 Pro, 64-bit system. Anyone had better luck?
P.S. It’s kind of a big file for what it is, compared to 824KB of SmartDown 1.0 zip…

That’s because it’s basically a web app but includes a full Chrome installation as a workaround to make it a desktop app.

I see… Have you managed to download it and try it? I don’t have any more time this weekend to play with it, but I could try the 32-bit version next.
