Text editors are necessary to all and to all applications for work we use them more often than others. There are many good editorsBut people tend to always want more, so developers create more and more new applications. At the same time, in addition to native, there are online editors available in a web browser on any platform. About them, I tell you today.
StackEdit - a free Markdown-editor that offers many useful functions. It has a panel of visual formatting (bold, italics, lists, etc.) can be synchronized with the cloud (Dropbox, Google Drive), import files by URL or from a local drive. The highlight StackEdit is the ability to convert HTML to Markdown.
The Dillinger very minimalistic interface that helps to concentrate on your text. This editor does not only support cloud service Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, but even GitHub. Your complete texts can be exported to HTML, Markdown, and PDF. The Dillinger has a focus mode where the screen hides all but the typing.
Simple Markdown-editor with a clean interface. All that he can (if you do not create an account on the service to access the advanced features), is to work with the text and display the preview to impose a Markdown-fragment. Save your work, you can by downloading a text file in HTML or Markdown (.md) on the provided link.
Hardcore, ascetic online editor without problems. It has a panel preview Markdown-code and the ability to convert to HTML.
Another fairly simple Markdown-editor that syncs with Dropbox. To use it, you'll need to provide access to Markdown Journal folder with documents in your Dropbox.
Dingus - is relatively old and extremely simple Mardown-editor, accessible from any browser. It is notable for the fact that designed by John Gruber, the father of Markdown.
As you can see, Markdown-Editor developers do not really bother with the name. This editor supports markup GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) and works in conjunction with Google Drive.
Another option, if you need an editor with support for GitHub Flavored Markdown. It does not work with cloud storage, but has a preview pane that displays formatted Markdown-code.
Writebox - free text editor with a focus mode and support for Markdown. When you start typing, it hides everything except the text. Excellent work Dropbox and Google Drive, has support for keyboard shortcuts and lets you download your text in html format or txt.
Pretty simple online notebook that understands the markup Markdown. If necessary, you can keep your writing to Dropbox or Evernote.
conclusion
As you can see, the lack of free online editor with Markdown support is not felt. Among all, I would point out StackEdit and DillingerBoth have sufficient functionality for routine work than and different from the rest.
However, if you are working on GitHub-projects, we must appreciate the advantages Markdown-Editor and (GitHub-Flavored) Markdown Editor.
