Very disappointing landing page. While I expect Real Mac to do something decent, I don't see why on earth I'd want anything to do with this. If the software's not yet ready, at least entice me with something. Not a video of wheat.

Please give me one reason why I should sign up? The page isn't doing a very good job convincing me.. (as in: no information, just a video of... nature..?)

"Your best work isn’t written, it’s Typed." "Your New Favourite Markdown Editor for Mac."

the tone of this is just pretentious and repellent. I wonder where real value and humility has gone.

Here's what their "thanks for signing up for the mailing list" email said about Typed:

What is Typed?

Typed is a brand new minimalist Markdown editor. We’re building Typed because we write a lot of Markdown, and weren’t happy with the other apps out there. Markdown is something we’re aiming to support widely in our apps both now and in the future, and it goes without saying that Typed will be receiving frequent updates!

System Requirements?

We’ll be supporting OS X Mavericks and newer when Typed launches, and as you’d expect we’ll be making sure Typed looks stunning on OS X Yosemite too.

What about iOS?

Right now, we’re focused on building Typed for Mac. With OS X Yosemite’s new iCloud Drive feature, you’ll be able to use your favourite iOS text editor and still edit documents in Typed when at your Mac.

When & where can I buy It?

Typed will be available via both the Mac App Store and the Realmac Store. We haven’t announced pricing yet, but as soon as we have more details to share with you, you’ll be the first to know

Not going to pile on to the existing criticism.

Needless to say, I did not sign up.

The thing is... every new markdown editor is the best one ever. It'll have all the really necessary features other markdown editors have (you know, like markdown parsing), and a bunch of features that everyone is so super-excited about — features they'll never use. Of course, those features are what set it apart from other editors.

I bought Byword when it came out. I've been using it ever since. I'm not saying it's the best editor, but it does all I want it to do. I can write, preview and export. Yay! Sure, it can't tell me which of my words are nouns, but I'm glad the developer(s) thought I'd be able to figure that out without their help, being the person that does the actual writing.

Thoughts

• Stock video footage and an email form, not what I was expecting at all. Especially after reading 'the best work is typed'. Lead by example.
• Maybe the email has more info on it, in which case this is an email hoover...
• Five minutes and counting, still waiting for the email...
• This is not my new favourite markdown editor :(

If using Typed makes me feel, like i was flying over a forest, or resting in a bamboo forest, i'll sign up.

This is a non-announcement.

"Sign up to receive an exclusive preview of Typed for Mac." Sounds like you will actually get beta software or at the minimum a visual preview of the product. None of this was delivered.

All that being said, I'm super excited about this. Our whole team uses Markdown. Looking forward to an actual preview.

I value Realmac, but I'm not signing up just yet. There are plenty of good Markdown editors and I'm not really looking for a new one.

This better be good.

Wow, that's a hell of a claim with absolutely no explanation as to why. Also, you'll never break me and Mou apart!

I am looking forward to this. Having used Mou and Lightpaper, I find the preview scroll updating not able to keep up.

I supposed Typed will have custom theme also.

Sidebar folder panel is also a must just like Lightpaper as I write a lot of documentation and need to jump around the .md files alot.

Eager to see what this new MD editor will do :)
