 * More or less exactly what I wanted. Full-screen side-by-side markdown support
   in 2017 without having to constantly press the preview button.
 * Main gripe is that autosave does not appear to work, and all it takes is a backspace
   press while the focus is away from the edit box to lose it all (as I discovered
   the hard way)! Even if it just popped up the standard browser notification to
   say the content hasn’t been saved it’d be a massive improvement.
 * The preview doesn’t show the real styling, but if I cared I wouldn’t be writing
   in MD!
 * Another minor point, the editor wraps code blocks, while the preview window doesn’t.
   It’d be great if it was consistent and didn’t wrap in the editor (although I 
   imagine this might be tricky…?)
