Instead of StackEdit
StackEdit alternatives
StackEdit is built for writing Markdown in a browser: it pairs syntax highlighting and formatting controls with a live preview whose scrolling follows the editor. It can work offline, handle local files, and sync through Google Drive, Dropbox, and GitHub. Shared workspaces include change merging, inline comments, and discussions, while its Markdown support covers Markdown Extra, GFM, CommonMark, and LaTeX math. Writers can publish to Blogger, WordPress, or Zendesk, and output Markdown, HTML, or PDF.

That focus may feel narrow if you want a general notes app, broader device coverage, or integrations beyond file sync and CMS publishing. StackEdit is free and open source, but its platforms are web, Chrome extension, and self-hosted; its workflow centers on Markdown rather than general note sharing. Compare device support, offline access, collaboration, storage, integrations, and recurring cost. A broader notes product may be a better fit, but could trade away StackEdit’s Markdown-specific editing and publishing tools.
