 I hadn’t thought about “compiling in markdown”… do you use WYSIWYG tools and then save/copy/paste into a compiling step? Which tools do you use?

 to be frank: Visual Studio Code, where I do a 60/40 split of editor and preview 😅

 oh, hadn’t seen this before, thanks for sharing. Obsidian looks very polished. So this nostr-writer is just nostr-focused adaptation stuff for Obsidian?

 Yeah Obsidian uses markdown, so the plugin would connect to relays and publish the file you have or also a short note. I saw that there's a video demonstration. Wish there was an emacs version 😅
