[Feature Request] Wrapper for more PKM functionality

[apg-dev]

MarkEdit is one of the most pleasing and performant markdown editors I've worked with. I just wish there was a wrapper or companion app that enabled more "PKM" functionality such as:

• Inline markdown image (and video) preview
• Bidirectional note linking
• Tags
• Directory-based note searching

Obviously there are a bunch of Mac (and Electron) based markdown file viewers. But nothing that comes close to the polish, elegance, and performance of what's currently in MarkEdit. I suppose iA Writer might be close, but it has too many other challenges.

I'm wondering if anyone in the community has considered building such an "add-on".

Thanks for the feedback, but it doesn't align with my vision.

I created MarkEdit for simplicity, while PKM feels too complex. Some suggestions are actually opposite to MarkEdit's goals.

MarkEdit is a single-file editor, accessing only files the user selects. I prefer to leave file management to the system.

Bidirectional links also don't suit my workflow. I manage work and life within one Markdown file.

I don't feel I have that much knowledge to manage.

Thank you for the honest feedback. A single markdown file for managing work and life is a fascinating concept! Would you mind sharing how you handle things like screenshots you'd like to refer back to? Do you use any journaling concepts, and if so, do you use a header for each day? How about notes you take on PDFs, articles, or books you've read? Do you write notes for the "current" day at the beginning or end of the document? I'd love to hear about any structure or processes you've developed for managing it all in one file.

I can see many advantages to such an approach: no need to think about note titles, no need to contemplate whether "this" belongs in an existing note or a new note, one file to search for anything and everything, quick sync across multiple Macs, and so on.
