## What it is
Abricotine is a desktop Markdown editor with inline preview, rendering formatted elements like headers, images, and math directly in the text as you type. It is built on Electron and supports GFM, HTML/Pandoc export, themes, and distraction-free writing.

## Use cases
- write markdown with live inline preview instead of a side pane
- export markdown to html, pdf, or docx via pandoc
- edit github-flavored markdown on the desktop
- write in a distraction-free fullscreen markdown editor
- preview images and math while typing markdown

## When to choose
- you want wysiwyg-style inline markdown preview in a native desktop app
- you need pandoc-based export to multiple document formats

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained editor - the project is officially discontinued
- you need collaborative editing or cloud sync

## Facets
- artifact type: application

- function: editor, markdown, documentation
- domain: text-editors, documentation, desktop-applications
- platform: windows
