Nice work man! Clean, simple, easy to use.
This is fantastic. Just gave it a quick try to test it out and it seems very robust.
I'm going to say it:
I hate markdown. Why when I know HTML do I want to learn another way to code links and font styles? Why on earth?
Everytime I want to share a link or make a list or do some bold font stuff I have to read a markdown guide. It's annoying.
Why the human brain needs to make more room for another language. If an input supports rich text it what's wrong with providing a WYSIWYG bar? God forbid we do anything intuitive less it mess with the minimalist design of website text forms everywhere
You guys should also try Atom text editor. It is also open source and comes with a great markdown preview package out of the box

Honestly what gripes me the most with Mou/MacDown is the lack of tab support. Hopefully that could be addressed soon enough, since having a plethora of windows open is overkill.
There is also LightPaper, which comes with tab support and is also free.
+1. Been using LightPaper for a few months now, and it's perfect for my workflow. MacDown is fairly nice too though. Haven't had a chance to mess with it a lot just yet.
