I wanted some recommendations on the best FOSS GUI Markdown editors. My current one is MarkText, so any good equivalent alternatives to it ?

Thanks in advance👌

    I use Joplin daily, but its main disadvantage is the huge resource footprint, specially compared to a regular text editor with markdown highlighting.

    The main advantages are that its cross platform, mobile, self-syncable, and E2EE. I think it’s better then even Obsidian.

    Mermaid support is the cherry on the cake, although I still use a simple text editor for quick markdown notes.

      I switched to QOwnNotes. It’s lighter than Joplin since it doesn’t use Electron. The only things I miss are highlighting (have to use an extension if I remember correctly), and LaTeX (mainly use this for mathematics formulas).
