I'm an orthopedic surgeon in Suzhou. Writing is a big part of my day — clinical notes, literature reviews, patient-education drafts, the occasional article for a medical WeChat Official Account. Markdown is how I think.
mdEdit is not designed to replace Typora or Obsidian. It's designed for the moments in between — when you want to jot something down, clean up a snippet, or prepare a piece for a Chinese publishing platform, without the ceremony of a bigger tool.
我是苏州的骨科医生，日常写字很多：病历、文献综述、患者宣教稿、偶尔给医学公众号写文章。 Markdown 是我的思考方式。
mdEdit 的定位不是替代 Typora 或 Obsidian，而是它们之间的那些瞬间 —— 你只想快速写几行、整理一个片段、或者准备一篇要发到国内平台的稿件，又不想启动一个太重的工具。
