The recent updates to Apple Notes have introduced Markdown import/export capabilities, allowing users to copy and paste as Markdown. However, the app's design philosophy limits users to predefined styles, which some argue undermines the flexibility of Markdown. Glenn Fleishman discusses the implications of this design choice, noting that while Markdown is widely used in content management systems, Apple Notes is fundamentally a rich-media note-taking app rather than a plain text editor. This distinction raises questions about the app's usability for Markdown enthusiasts.
