See http://www.aflava.com/questions/question/software-abandoned/
I had the same question.

An entirely new version was just released. I’m not sure in what world that’s considered “abandoned.”
Last bit of activity on the site was from two months ago. That’s better than most software makers, if you don’t count open source developers who post hourly updates in public version control repositories.

In the developer’s own words:
“Smartdown is not abandoned at all. I was just working on the new version. You can read more about it here:”

Today I downloaded a Smartdown II 1.2.0.0 beta test. To be honest, although I’m a registered user, I haven’t used it all that often. But it’s not a subscription!
No new killer features, although the leftmost pane seems a little easier to manage: there are icons for folders (including Dropbox), files within the folder, and navigation within the file.

I have been using Smartdown for several months now and I like it. It is my writing pad on the computer to quickly jot down notes. It is not overloaded with features and the new beta v1.2 adds a few but useful new functions like the redesigned sidebar where you can navigate through your folders, files or within a document.
You can quickly turn on an off the preview window or keep it open as a floating window. This may not be a killer feature but I perceive it as very useful.
Best,
Dominik
