MarkDrop Alternatives

MarkDrop is described as 'Markdown is a simple syntax built for writers who want to compose in an easy-to-write, easy-to-read format that can be converted to HTML. But the missing component up until now has been quickly uploading that HTML to a URL that can be easily shared with others' and is an app in the news & books category. There are more than 25 alternatives to MarkDrop for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Web-based and Self-Hosted apps. The best MarkDrop alternative is Typora. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try ghostwriter or ReText. Other great apps like MarkDrop are Hemingway Editor, Haroopad, MarkdownPad and Dillinger.
