Feature Request: Markdown Preview

[washere]

Hi Davo,

Long time no see. I hope you're well & having a great summer.

We had a long discussion a few years ago for mass import/export of txt & Markdown files. Which ended in your granting my wishes & creating tomboytools.

As I predicted, the rise of markdown is unstoppable. Most web content providers static-gens (jamstack.org/generators) are including markdown one by one. The consortium to unify format is also serious now, will take a few years, but no one is waiting.

After Roam Research, dozens of Markdown based knowledge-base/wiki makers like Obsidian & Logseq etc have a huge user-base each. Markdown has basically become Godzilla.

I think we need a new button on the toolbar:

Markdown Preview

This will show a live preview if the note content is markdown.

I would like you to sleep on this & think about it for a few days. Because I think you will have ideas.

Also I have a lot more to say about the functionality of this little button at the end of toolbar. We can simply call it [.MD].

I am a long time coder & UI/UX guy (multimedia interface design). I think you can do simple yet genius things with this little button that actually no other application has.

As I said please think about this for a few days and tell me what you think. As this needs a little brewing creatively.

Also I'm using Tomboy-NG on a couple of distros laptops much more than Windows laptop which I rarely turn on nowadays. Fedora will take over as standard from Ubuntu, it runs beautifully on Fedora and another. As does Tomboytools. Also the custom themes (setup colors) make it look stunning in dark mode. As there's no name & export/import themes by colors, that would be a mighty cool feature too bro. So I save #rgb hex values for each theme in a text file. And with the right fonts installed & chilled colors, Tomboy-NG is a honey to look at.

Anyway please think about this request & tell me what you think. Then we can take it further. Because there are several potential strategies possible.

Have a good weekend buddy & thanks again 👍
