Classeur.io: Re-enjoy writing, with Markdown

The thing that would make all these markdown editors a killer app for me is an easy way to link between documents. Something like vimwiki, where you can surround a word or group of words with "[[" "]]" and it turns that word into a [[link]]. These apps are great for editing a single document, but fall down when you want to create a notebook or set of interlinked notes.

<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackedit.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackedit.io&#x2F;</a> is my markdown editor of choice. You can sync your documents with Google Drive, Dropbox, publish to GitHub. Really not easy to beat, in my opinion. However, there&#x27;s no live collaboration feature currently in Stackedit so I&#x27;m interested to see what Classeur has to offer in this respect. (Now I see that Stackedit and Classeur are related projects, apparently both authored by <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;benweet" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;benweet</a>).

I spent about an hour looking for a note taking app today. The problem with most markdown editors is that the note taker rarely reads the note in absentia. I mean, I read my notes as I write them and edit them, but more often than not, I am changing them as I read or consult them.<p>The mou&#x2F;macdown&#x2F;classeur approach is to have a preview that can be toggled or visible in split screen mode. Conversely, notes.app on Mac works really well and you can write and read notes on the same &quot;space&quot; but it doesn&#x27;t support markdown.<p>Maybe I am an edgecase, but I would like to write notes in markdown and have them render line by line[0] so that I have one document and not an editor and a display. Almost wrote one myself but the opportunity cost of spending weeks making it (if I could even deliver) would likely not offset the bit of frustration I get using another editor.<p>If this exists, I want it bad.<p>[0] or like 3 lines at a time or whatever.

Dear fellow hackers,<p>I&#x27;ve been looking for an application setup with what I could write my personal (research) journal using vim with markdown annotation and with embedded multimedia (screencaptures, mostly). It would be great to have a possibility to attach files to notes, too.<p>Of course I would like the setup to be open source. Does anyone have similar needs and perhaps solutions for them? I tried atom with vim-bindings-plugin and markdown-preview but somehow the UI just didn&#x27;t cut it for me when compared to a native vim.<p>Please, share your setup if you have anything that resembles my need!

I like it, waiting for the Linux application...<p>Hope to see more of this as application and not as web apps, I really don&#x27;t like this new web apps trend.

Nice interface, latex support, code block support, doesn&#x27;t lock up your data, uses pandoc rather than reinventing the wheel. That&#x27;s how it&#x27;s supposed to be done.<p>I&#x27;m not sure I&#x27;m the target audience (would be hard to justify spending $5&#x2F;month given my current workflow) but it would be an excellent way to collaborate. If it could handle really large documents, including organizing them into sections, this would be an outstanding tool for commenting on a student&#x27;s dissertation (in particular, using a tablet).

Due to missing support of `Markdown` in Blogger, I have been waiting for such tool for a long time. Thanks to the team.<p>I will use if for some time and see if it can replace my evernote too.

The UI looks and works nice. I specifically like the the markdown quick reference in the bottom right corner.

<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dillinger.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dillinger.io&#x2F;</a> is much alike, minus several integrations, collaboration and discussion.

Curious to get opinions on what you guys consider to be the best OSX app for note-taking in relation to day-to-day dev work, e.g. storing and retrieving documentation, code samples&#x2F;snippets (with insets, formatting, and colored syntax, so that it&#x27;s clearly separated from non-code text), etc... Doesn&#x27;t need to support markdown.<p>I love Quiver, but syncing it across multiple computers through iCloud is not reliable, otherwise it would practically be perfect.<p>StackEdit is great, but I don&#x27;t like how it&#x27;s tied to a browser. I also don&#x27;t like being forced to store everything on an external server. I&#x27;m willing to make an exception for iCloud because it&#x27;s so damn convenient -- it&#x27;s the only form of cloud storage that I use for personal documents.<p>From reading this thread, I see that Classeur is from the same creator, which is great news :)<p>Unfortunately, there&#x27;s no desktop client yet, so it&#x27;d be nice to use something else until then.<p>I currently store markdown (general insensitive documentation that doesn&#x27;t need to be kept local) and Ruby&#x2F;Objective-C files (for snippets&#x2F;examples) on iCloud and read&#x2F;edit&#x2F;run them with Textmate.

The editor is great, but the UX flow between creation, upload to Wordpress, save, export is very confusing. I have not been able to figure out how the connect to Wordpress works in the first place.<p>The top menu fails to work when in full-screen browser mode (on chrome) because the &quot;you&#x27;ve gone fullscreen&quot; popup blocks access to the top menu.

Deleting words (Ctrl-Backspace) does not seem to work.

This is very slick.<p>Not to nitpick, but did anyone else find that some (important) keyboard shortcuts were missing? Ctrl&#x2F;Alt-Backspace in particular didn&#x27;t work for me. Though I guess vim doesn&#x27;t have support for that either.

Hey. It respects my line-breaks without making me jump through hoops.<p>Non-standard markdown but a welcome decision.<p>Numbered lists with gaps and line breaks are still impossible sadly. I&#x27;ll see if my other personal pet gripes against Markdown are handled any differently when I remember what they are.<p>Admittedly Word and many other wysiwyg editors are sometimes less than helpful in this area but at least it&#x27;s possible without resorting to tricks such as using double-dots to defeat the auto-formatting.

My favorite one is LightPaper (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ashokgelal.com&#x2F;lightpaper-for-mac&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ashokgelal.com&#x2F;lightpaper-for-mac&#x2F;</a>). With multitabs and a folder navigator, among others, I can keep and edit related documents together. I wish it had a vi mode but other than that it&#x27;s perfect.

I use and love Ulysses

When it comes to markdown I think I stick to Haroopad. It&#x27;s cross platform and has pretty much all I need -&gt; <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pad.haroopress.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pad.haroopress.com&#x2F;</a>

Just used the interface... wow I love it. I need something exactly like this.

I would like to have an easy way to link between pages, and if possible specific sections of pages. Also a tag system would be nice.

I use Byword, works for me, but if I weren&#x27;t already very comfortable using that, I&#x27;d probably try using this. Nice.

The pricing applies just to the web version or it has something to do with the desktop version too?

Are there examples or documentation? What does it look like if you publish to Github?

This is a very slick app and a very nice landing page. Well done and good luck!

I have a box at terminal.com with vim. Costs way less.

Yes! Like dillinger (and others) but with proper inline html support (that is: I can have documents with data tables without having to inline images for it).
