Yeah. It's insane. #1 google search result for "online markdown editor" 6 years of development and then... nothing.

I'm wondering the same thing. I like the editor but don't really want to be using something that isn't being maintained

@benweet what about moving the project under some OSS organization and giving maintainer rights to multiple people? Would that work? I like this project too would love to see it being developed further.

@katomaso Given the license couldn't folks who are interested fork the project into a new org and begin actively maintaining it there?

@katomaso @jsuar -- I'm down for forking to a new repo and hosting in my org. Is there really interest in this?
Might have to disable a bunch of features (pay walls, server side PDF generation, but we could get it going...)

@ortonomy I actually switched to https://github.com/marktext/marktext so I probably wouldn't participate. Thanks for the offer 👍

No worries @jsuar -- just checked out marktext, it's lovely but currently borked on macos and you can't sync to a cloud store, it's all local files... less happy about that.

@ortonomy I hear ya. It was a hell of a search to find a good live markdown editor. Marktext looks nice but does have some annoying bugs. I'm getting around the local files issue by using a Github repo which is less than ideal. I've been floating an idea of integrating some kind of encryption either before pushing to the repo or wrapped around the entire editing process (so I'd have encryption at rest too). I really want to "own" as much of the data so I avoided a lot of the other editors out there. Using a repo or cloud but encrypting before uploading would be pretty sweet. Kind of the local first mindset.

@ortonomy Interested, if you make a fork. First check if there is a good existing fork.

I like the looks of StackEdit, but with the github repo seeing no commits for 14 months, I'm wondering if it's a good choice ? I've got my account setup, and seems to be syncing with Google Drive just fine, so going to try it out.

Yeah I could be interested

@bendtherules -- good point. But there are 2.4K Forks! what do we do!? 🤣

I had this same question, leading me to this issue 1641. Unfortunately, it was after I started using this that I discovered there is no maintenance at all. I would for sure have interest in a fork of this that would continue its maintenance, as well as the paywall features. If the developer is not active on the project, there should be no payments to use it. Given the age of this issue, I will start looking for another option, especially one that I can share, even if it is restricted to those in a GSuite org.

I too am interested in a maintained alternative. If anyone found one since 2020, I'd love to get a pointer!
