A stand-alone application to quickly preview and edit Markdown files using Electron.

As a college student, I needed a way to quickly take rich notes in class. I have long been a proponent of the Markdown Language, so I decided to download MacDown for easy rendering and viewing. However, upon an OS update on my local machine, the Markdown rendering broke. Thus, I decided to build my own open-sourced version that is supported on Windows, OSX, and Linux machines using the Electron Framework.
