Excellent Markdown App - Some Suggestions – 1Writer - Markdown Text Editor Review

I love this app. Navigation is great, it supports [[backlinking]], ![embeds](), and #tags like a champ. I use Obsidian with iCloud and this pulls in all of my files with ease. My favorite feature is the customizable markdown extended keyboard, which makes writing in markdown even simpler. However, I do have suggestions: • Backlinks between folders - 1Writer has a difficult time recognizing backlinks between sub folders within the root folder. For example, if I have a link to [[1 Peter]] in my current note located in “/Personal/Daily Notes” it will not identify the document “1 Peter.md” located in “/Personal/Books” • Enhanced Shortcuts Integration - So far, the only action one can take with Shortcuts is “Open with 1 Writer.” An option to “Create New Note with (variable)” or “Save file in (specified folder)” would be incredible. This would make it easy to create multiple notes with Shortcuts and automatically save them to the appropriate folder. Currently I have a workaround that saves a .txt file in a /shortcuts folder in iCloud that I have to rename to .md and open with 1Writer. • iCloud folder access aside from /iCloud/1Writer - I have my Obsidian vault saved in /iCloud Drive/1Writer and it works fine, but using additional apps can be difficult. Setting up root folders outside of /1Writer would be nice. • Additional Themes/WYSIWYG/Easier-to-reach Preview button - these are much lower level suggestions, but additional themes, a “what you see is what you get” style processing, or simply an extended keyboard button to toggle preview mode/moving the preview button to the bottom of the screen are simple QOL changes. That said, AMAZING!
