In Notion releases offline modeYes, Codemirror.
What I know about Codemirror I mostly learned by reading other people's code so I suggest that.
Specifically code of silverbullet: https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/tree/main/web... (and a few other directories there).
It implements very advanced Markdown mode, lots of code to learn from.

I'm a heavy F/OSS note-tech user and my first thought was "this is awesome", followed by "does it sync/can I use it across devices".
Also just my own selfish wish but but having a dedicated desktop app is also awesome, even if it's nothing but a webview (check out Tauri)... The PWA should make it possible to "install" the app, assuming the manifest is there and linked via meta tags.
In Silver Bullet: Markdown-based extensible open source personal knowledge platformVery cool and useful tool.
Two pain points for me:
A) I don't see support for RTL languages (like Hebrew/Arabic) - or to configure text alignment.
B) According to a Github issue [1] it cannot be installed on a Raspberry Pi
