Obsidian doesn't require an account and has nice functionality for this (?)

Does Obsidian require an account (?) I forget if I signed up when I got it, pretty sure not - I did check their privacy statement about whether they ever collected info about your files or use of the application

And the answer was no - it's just a thing that lives on your device & interacts with your hardware & only connects elsewhere if you tell it to & only for purposes like browsing and downloading community plugins


uhhh, I use Markdown, since it runs in the text editors I have any interest in

The new development was using the feature of Markdown where it runs HTML

The basic codes for Markdown don't hold me back, since I'm familiar with using it - like, lots of applications use the basic Markdown kit for `**bold**` or `*italics*` or whatever

The Markdown feature I got into lately is the HTML thing, because there aren't basic Markdown codes for stuff like

"Center this text, make it 200% bigger, add this background color, change the font to this, change the text color to this"

Or

"Put the image from this link here, give it this alt text, make it this many pixels" or whatever

and, like, I can make a pass at writing something with regular plain text, then go back through with a few HTML tag templates on my clipboard / a separate text file, and add the appropriate flavor

It's been good for me thus far - like the toolkit is not very hard to understand, and lets me play quite a bit with how things get displayed
