Could you build this?
Partial A WYSIWYG Markdown editor with lossless round-tripping to plain .md files and Obsidian compatibility is hard to get right, and the native Apple versions add real engineering cost.
What it would actually take: Start from an existing editor framework such as ProseMirror, Tiptap or CodeMirror with live-preview decorations, plus KaTeX for math and Mermaid for diagrams. Native Mac and iOS versions would mean SwiftUI or a wrapped web view, plus iCloud Drive and Dropbox file sync. The hard parts are a parser and serializer that preserve Markdown and Obsidian syntax exactly, and conflict-free file sync, which need experienced editor and sync engineers.
