Markdown Editor 0.4.2

Markdown Editor is a Markdown editor and viewer for GNOME with a live preview: Mermaid diagrams, KaTeX math, GitHub alerts and Marp slide decks. Read the announcement for the full tour.

Install

flatpak install --user https://innovyria.github.io/flatpak/io.github._24icewolf42.markdown-editor.flatpakref

This installs from the signed Innovyria Flatpak repository. Updates then arrive through GNOME Software and flatpak update.

What's new in 0.4.2

Updates without visiting GitHub.

• The Flatpak is available from the signed Innovyria repository and updates through GNOME Software and flatpak update. A single-file bundle from that repository sets it up as the update source.
• The AppImage carries update information for AppImageUpdate and Gear Lever.

Files

• .flatpak: the app as one file, without updates. Install it with flatpak install --user <file>; it pulls the GNOME 51 runtime from Flathub.
• .AppImage: small. It uses the system's GNOME libraries, so it needs a GNOME 49 or newer desktop (GTK 4.12+, libadwaita 1.8+, GtkSourceView 5, WebKitGTK 6.0, PyGObject). Run chmod +x on it after downloading. The .zsync file next to it enables updates that download only the changed parts.
• SHA256SUMS: checksums for all files.

Markdown Editor 0.4.1

License text and a Flatpak built from source.

• The license text (GPL-3.0-or-later) ships with the source and the Flatpak.
• The Flatpak builds the preview from source with Node.js instead of using the prebuilt bundle.

Downloads

• .flatpak (recommended): self-contained. flatpak install --user <file>; pulls the GNOME 51 runtime from Flathub.
• .AppImage: small; uses the system's GNOME libraries and needs a GNOME 49 or newer desktop (GTK 4.12+, libadwaita 1.8+, GtkSourceView 5, WebKitGTK 6.0, PyGObject). chmod +x it after downloading.

Markdown Editor 0.4.0

Marp slide decks, and a new application ID.

• Documents with “marp: true” in their front matter preview as Marp slides, with highlighting for directives and slide separators.
• The application ID is now io.github._24icewolf42.markdown-editor and the command is markdown-editor. Settings from earlier versions carry over, except in the Flatpak; uninstall the old Flatpak (io.github.gnome_markdown_editor) separately.
• The Flatpak only has access to the home folder instead of the whole file system.

Downloads

• .flatpak (recommended): self-contained. flatpak install --user <file>; pulls the GNOME 51 runtime from Flathub.
• .AppImage: small; uses the system's GNOME libraries and needs a GNOME 49 or newer desktop (GTK 4.12+, libadwaita 1.8+, GtkSourceView 5, WebKitGTK 6.0, PyGObject). chmod +x it after downloading.
