9to5Mac Reports Apple Notes Will Gain Markdown Export at WWDC, and, You’ll Be Unsurprised to Know, I Have Thoughts

Marcus Mendes discusses the potential addition of Markdown export in Apple Notes. He clarifies this differs from "Markdown support" implying a Markdown editor. Mendes, Markdown's creator, explains its primary purpose is web writing and HTML conversion. He believes Apple Notes shouldn't become a Markdown editor due to the risk of malformed syntax. He values Apple Notes' WYSIWYG interface and limited formatting options for ease of use. However, he criticizes Apple Notes' hashtag implementation for tags. Mendes highlights the current limited export options (PDF, Pages) in Apple Notes. He sees Markdown export as a desirable feature, addressing a significant weakness. The implementation, especially regarding images, remains to be seen. Overall, Mendes is enthusiastic about the possibility of Markdown export without compromising Apple Notes' user-friendly design.
