Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t stand using split pane views. I like the way apps like Obsidian handle having a live preview of the LML. Any time I’m opening the file, I want the option to edit it. A view-only method is useful to me for sharing with others, which is generally hosted or done via a chat app that uses markdown formatting, so it all just kind of works.
I can see some value in storing the file as html, for the sake of portability to whatever LML someone may want to use on a given day or era. But then it would be converting every time a file is opened for editing and saved, which seems unnecessary. The editor and the viewer have different goals, and for the files on my local system, I’m always the editor.
