Hey Henry
In the context of Hacktoberfest and using Markdown I think you should take a look at Foam.

I found the project a while ago and I think it already hits the mark on some of the bullet points you listed there (of course you can still go the route of building the MD editor as part of the month challenge but I think your contribution to the project would be valuable.)

Hey Juan!

Foam is actually what kicked all this off. My buddy, mentioned in the article, showed it to me and it looked like it covered 80% of what we wanted out of a markdown editor. And they definitely have their own take on organization/visualization.

Finding another that that misses the mark for me is what kicked me to finally say "Screw it, I'm building my own!".

Personally, I want a small stand alone notes app. So that I don't have to shuffle between VS Code windows to get to my dedicated markdown one.

I'll definitely be checking Foam out and see if there's anything I might be able to contribute next month, but thanks for the recommendation!
