Both Katana and Write are abandonware, providing an opportunity for LightPaper to make the move into this space. It is interesting that of the three I mentioned TextNut is the only product which is being currently maintained. Katana, TextNut, and Write: A Note Taking and Markdown Writing app were the notables in this space. Others tried to match and improve this ability with varied success. This derivative of Notational Velocity was great at managing files in a single folder. The gold standard in this category of course was nvALT. If you are going to produce these documents, it doesn't make sense to access them one at a time, and the developers realized that a solution was needed to make it easier to access, edit and manage the files you create. The next stage of the evolution was file management. A subset of developers thought there was a segment of users who were not comfortable with markdown, and they decided to incorporate rich text editing into the mix: Desk PM and TextNut are good examples of this. They were joined by solutions like DeskPM, and lately iA Writer (who publishes to Medium). The developers incorporated blog publishing as a feature set. Byword decided to become a write and publish solution. Distinguished by minimalistic executions, the developers concentrated on providing an environment for you to write in.
Initially, we had the launch of single document text editors: iA Writer, Byword, Erato, and Typora are the typical examples in this genre. We have seen the steady evolution of markdown based text editors in the last few years. It is described by the developer as "a simple, beautiful yet powerful text + markdown editor for your Mac." Context LightPaper has come out of beta and is now ready for your use. JanuLightPaper: One App for Your Markdown Needs.
