GitHub MarkDown PSA

[Bonus Eventus]

Just thought I'd share this tip with any Mod authors using GitHub. There's a great open source text editor I use, called Atom. With Atom, you can install different code linters and cool extensions from within the editor. Anyways, today I discovered that Atom has a RM previewer. After the package is installed all one has to do is press "cntrl - shift - M" and a second tab opens showing you a GitHub preview of your markdown like so:

Here's the link to the package if you're interested. Link

Just thought I'd share this incase anyone didn't know, I know it made my life easier

Well, this is cool. I used Atom briefly on OS X since there seems to be no other proper general code editor around and was quite happy with it. I might just try it on windows where i've been using Notepad++ since forever.

I think it's way better on any platform and especially better than Notepad++ on Windows. It is resource heavy, though, since it uses a stripped down Chrome browser. Otherwise, I love it. I use it for small programming projects of any language.

I've used notepad++ when I had a windows machine, and Atom is very similar, except that Atom is a lot prettier IMHO. And the text search / manipulation is super powerful. However there very well may be a similar plugin for notepad++ that previews rm.
