Disappointed for Markdown
I bought Byword on a whim after exploring several of the free/open source Markdown editors for Mac. I’m disappointed by three things:
- No live preview window
- No place to use custom CSS templates
- Support for math equations only works when exporting to HTML, not PDF - and it does not support full multimarkdown syntax
These are standard features on other Mac Markdown editors. Further I have found their support via both Twitter and email fairly unresponsive (I got one email reply, no Tweet replies, and no reply to my follow-up to the email reply).
It’s certainly not a “bad” app - it’s polished and well designed. It’s just lacking some essential Markdown features and my support experience has been sub-par.
3/5 for features and another star lost for poor support.
