Comment on StackEdit: A free, open-source Markdown editor based on PageDown

I find it strange that the icon used is so similar to StackOverflow's if this isn't an app built by the same people.

Definitely an odd choice. Asking for trouble. If you've put so much work into, is the marketing value from a hint of association worth the potential mess?

StackEdit is a free, open-source Markdown editor based on PageDown, the Markdown library used by Stack Overflow and the other Stack Exchange sites.

I asked myself the same question. At first I thought it was some kind of editor using the Stack Overflow Markdown flavor. It's really confusing.

It is an editor using PageDown, the Stack Overflow Markdown flavor.

I still think it's a bit dodgy. If I used GitHub's form of Markdown for a similar project, I wouldn't think it acceptable to call it "MarkHub" and give it a logo of a Septocat in a black circle.
