Dinkus

By the same developer as Ishmael (and all the goodness around the best Python TUI libraries in existence), Dinkus is an equally polished Markdown editor that was an instant buy for me. Full disclosure: I got a code for Ishmael when it was released, but paid for this one, which is rare enough to give you pause. So far the experience is great, although I miss some of the niceties Obsidian has, like Quick Actions and typeahead find for quickly switching to other files. Still, it is nice to have something else that is snappy, polished and doesn’t look like a code editor. For me, the only notable omission is that reference links (and footnotes) at the bottom of the document seem to be completely ignored, even if the source view knows what they are.
