Why all that effort to have synced Side-by-side View instead of implementing an editable WYSIWYG view, like Typora?

(Typora is nice, and popular, but it has some serious performance and usability issues. Some competition would be good.)

The author here. That's a personal preference. I don't like WYSIWYG but do prefer plain Markdown.

Sure, I get that, totally. When you are in the Markdown view. But when you need to view the rendered rich text form, isn't it much more efficient and far more user-friendly to show just that, and allow it to be edited?

In other words, Inkdrop's two views could be Markdown and WYSIWYG (both editable), rather than Markdown and Side-by-side.
