Native ARM version of MacDown?

[dp-IED]

Will there be a native ARM version of MacDown? Who is interested?

[manngo]

As far as I can tell, it’s just a matter of recompiling on a current version of XCode, but I don’t know whether it prefers Swift.

Definitely the way to go.

[dp-IED]

I'll look into that.

After updating the Sparkle framework to 1.24.0, MacDown compiles and runs on arm64:

This is great news! We should get a release out.

Any update on when a Universal build of MacDown will be available?

[dp-IED]

I recommend looking apps up on doesitarm.com, apparently MacDown runs with rosetta 2.

@ColleSerre I know from experience that it works under Rosetta 2. But this very issue has it documented that a build that is Universal can be created. So I was asking specifically if anyone knew when that would be released as an update.

[dp-IED]

Right on, I'm not aware of a release date but to be honest, the last releases include minor improvements and I'm not sure if someone will put the time and implication into making it native but if someone is doing it, please reach out even if you're just starting.

I've created an unofficial release here

Besides update dependencies, the app itself need to be patch to fit the calling convention of arm64 otherwise the toolbar will break, this is addressed in my build. There might be other problems I did not find, so use it with caution.

Thanks so much!

I have tried out the release, and it appears to be working. However:

• This version suffers from the flashing rendering bug.
• The Preferences pane is all over the place.

I love the new icon.

Any updates for this?

[dp-IED]

i’ve personally stopped using macdown and have transitioned to stackedit.

StackEdit doesn't seem to open files, and of course can't link files from the directory. A desktop app is much preferred.

1.5 years later, we still need this!

I've just given up on MacDown in part due to this, and now use Markdown Editor.

Thanks for the recommendation. After many years of loving use of MacDown, I'm afraid I'm going to be joining you, @alexclst. My M2 just arrived, and now that we're a couple years into the Apple Silicon transition, I'm going to try to avoid installing Rosetta.

MarkDown editor just doesn't cut it. The Interface isn't that nice and something feels janky. I'd rather run MacDown emulated.

Ditto here. I’m still using an Intel Mac, but I would rather put up with Rosetta and the flashing screen for now.

One thing I don}t understand. I myself don’t have the skills in Objective C, but isn’t there someone who can fork this recompile it? Asa far as I can tell, the license is OK with that.

[designbyadrian]

@manngo there seems to be more than just recompiling the package according to https://github.com/MacDownApp/macdown/issues/1283#issuecomment-1057135791

[jimsmith]

I came across this open issue more than 2 years now and still no M1/M2 apple silicon universal app :(

This isn't a thing nowadays and as an engineer there's no reason to install Rosetta for something other companies have managed to solve this.

I'll have to ditch macdown now, this is very disappointing indeed I mean Dec 2020 and it's now Feb 2023 :( https://github.com/MacDownApp/macdown/issues/1215#issuecomment-738249328

Any update when this is going to be released ?

It's safe to say it's not going to happen, given the issues. Your best bet is to choose a different Markdown editor.

[fredngo]

Referencing my own comment...

1.5 years later, we still need this!

I now just edit Markdown in VS Code using its built-in Markdown Preview... No need for MacDown anymore!

[designbyadrian]

No need, unless you feel that the 250ms lag between each update to the markdown file appears in the preview area is too much. Which it is.

Hello, Can anyone upload native binary arm (air m1) version here ? Can't compile locally atm. Thanks

@khurshid-alam There is none

[psifertex]

Sure there is.

I think I'm using the release from the comment above: https://github.com/MacDownApp/macdown/issues/1215#issuecomment-769719294

[fredngo]

@psifertex Well color me impressed, I hadn't realized someone made an unofficial build. @khurshid-alam There you go.

[khurshid-alam]

@fredngo @psifertex

Thanks. That Worked !
