IA Writer in Paper

The only thing stopping me from using iA Writer for everything is being able to manually sort a folder. I realise that, being it's just a folder underneath, this would require storage somewhere. But it could be as simple as:

  _index.md:

  - File 1.md
  - File 2.md
  - File 3.md

Since it's a mac app, it could store the metadata in either a file, like you mentioned, or in a userdefaults preference dictionary (plist) that would be stored in the app's library support folder, or they could use core data and just keep a unique identifier for the path to the folder

I want it to have basic Frontmatter “dimming”, which ByWord does well.

And Obsidian took a step further by turning into a "Properties" UI.
