That seems odd... at least on iOS, aren’t there a million markdown editors? What problem did you run in to?

That editing text files on mobile sucks, whereas selecting a date with the date selector, toggling an item as done with a checkbox click etc are much better...

That just seems a limitation of mobile keyboards: there’s no arrow keys so markdown editors lack navigation. One benefit of iOS is that if you hold the space key down it allows you to freely move your cursor around.
