Thoughts on UX

[zer05media]

I like the idea of this app, but it's currently a little too clunky for me to use it, as I have to

1. Open an .md file
2. Copy the markdown
3. Open MarkTo
4. Paste
5. Convert
6. Open TextEdit
7. Create a new file
8. Paste
9. Save (and name)

Too many steps! Especially when having to convert a lot of files. Or am I missing something? I think the following would make it much more usable

• Open an .md document and have it automatically convert to rtf (currently shows empty textarea)
• Drag an .md document into the MarkTo window and have it automatically convert to rtf (currently shows the file's path)
• Drag an .md file onto the MarkTo app icon and have it convert to rtf and saved as a new document with the same name
• Click the menu item and let us drag a file into it

Or offer a preference to let us choose what to do with a file that is dragged into the app or onto the icon?

Just some thoughts, thanks for the app!

@zer05media Sorry, on the delay. I didn't have notifications turned on (my mistake). Good points and I like the drag and drop idea.

Originally I was using this just this for copying Markdown from an AI chat and then pasting the RTF. Definately could simplify and improve the flow. Even with something like watching the clipboard and if markdown is copied automatically importing it in and making it ready to convert or directly converting if toggled on.
