A polished Markdown editor for AI-era technical writers

This looks lightly crowded on the open-source side but hot in discussion, so entry is plausible only if you differentiate on a polished, AI-native writing experience rather than generic Markdown editing. The search terms are broad and substitute-heavy, so validate willingness to pay and a specific distribution channel before building.
