Oh, and the ever-cool Simplenote now supports basic Markdown (with a nice preview function). That’s the macOS version - I don’t know if the iOS version has caught up yet. Must check.

The new Windows version does, too.

Not yet in iOS.
The implementation of markdown is a bit odd. You need to click a command in the inspector to tell the app the text is markdown. Or, you can wait for some unspecified period of time and the app will figure it out itself. Since Simplenote is nothing but a plain text editor, I wonder why it just doesn’t assume everything is markdown. That assumption won’t break anything.

In the Windows version new notes are automatically MD - there is a button that toggles between Preview and Edit mode. For existing notes, you have to enable MD mode via the Info icon.

Yes, interesting one, Paul - it’s positively identified a few Markdown notes (synced with other apps), but failed to identify a few more.
Ah well, work in progress - and pretty cool for free.
