Since you're the author of Bangle.io and it seems the latter is based on bangle.dev[0] which in turn is based on ProseMirror(?), why did you decide to make Bangle's interface look like that of VS Code / Monaco[1]? At first I thought this was just VS Code running in the browser.
Other than that, it looks pretty promising. I'll definitely be following the project! :) (By the way, I can't find the "install" button on app.bangle.io that is mentioned in the FAQ.)
On a different note, IMO using Electron for an app is not a bad choice per se. It's just that editors written in web technologies usually suck because they are so slow compared to, say, Vim/Emacs/Sublime. Is ProseMirror really that much better (faster) than Monaco/VS Code? If not, what's the benefit of using Bangle over Marktext? (Sure, running Marktext/Electron will use up additional

RAM compared to running Bangle in an existing browser. But to be honest CPU load is much more important to me.)
