[plug] Recommendations for Markdown App

[Dean Bergin]

Hello All,

Thanks for the feedback Dillinger looks like the most impressive so far,
considering I can run this as my own private hosted web app (or Docker
container!), which has the added benefit of not having to worry about nasty
corporate firewalls preventing me from tunneling (SSH port forwarding).

I really would have preferred an app that abstracts away the markdown (much
like a word processor), but it seems as though the emphasis on md is that
you should be exposed to the formatting...
