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👌

Joplin? More of a note taking app in general though.

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.

This. It is also self-hostable
