Can you recommend a markdown native app for Windows? Currently switching to simple markdown notes myself but a bit annoyed always opening VS Code for a tiny note.

On Mac I use Ulysses. I hate that they switched to a subscription, but it's still the best Markdown app on the platform.
On Linux I use typora (previously caret when it basically shut down). typora and caret are built on web technologies and cross platform.
Oh Android I used to use and recommend JotterPad, but they've disgraced themselves and moved previously paid features (which I bought!) to a subscription, so I don't have an Android app anymore :(.

Notable is great and open source.

According to https://github.com/notable/notable/blob/master/SOURCE_CODE.m... the current version is no longer open-source.
There is also NixNote GPLv2 desktop Evernote client:

I've been happy with Markdown Edit. As a native app with an embedded webview, it's just a bit snappier than most of the Electron-based Markdown editors I've tried.
i like using marktext. its a single document editor instead of a note manager like notable or evernote, but it also has a sidebar where you can add a folder.
im not sure if its actually native though or whether its using electron... but i think ghostwriter is. tried that for a while. pretty much the same as marktext just without a sidebar
IA Writer has a Windows version.
