Hey folks! I've been using MarkText for years, but it seems dead now. It still works fine, but I've been on-and-off looking for something that gets dependency updates and is less resource heavy (electron).

I look for the following in order of importance:

FLOSS license
WYSIWYG editing, not side-by-side
limited scope (edit docs, not trying to be 'A System for Managing Ideas')
low resource usage
LaTeX support is a plus

Do you know if MarkText has a trustworthy fork that is maintained? Do you know if something with similar user experience exists that uses a more lightweight code base?

Yeah, I was looking into that fork some time ago (which doesn’t have a macOS version) and I remember the guy mentioning that the original developer came back from the dead. But now, the thread is closed, so I’m not even sure if the fork is stalled or not…
