This is an open source, free Markdown editor developed by a developer for developers.

The intent is to provide a minimalistic, easy-to-use, Markdown editor.

The editor has been run and tested on Windows 7 but the python implementation allows to run the software on any platforms. Please, let me know if you encounter problems.
