Looking for a good README editor. With maybe git functionality, but not necessary

  • Like adding shields/badges/assets within automatically

  • managing a directory like structure by generating new MD files in a directory like folder structure.

Essentially an IDE like environment just for markdown file management and a WYSIWYG editing experience

Cant you just use your favorite general purpose editor?

I could have posed the question better. But, I haven't found one that served my needs yet. Nor do I not know of one that may have interesting features that would make it easier to do things, like maybe adding shields/badges/assets within automatically or being able to create a directory like structure by generating new MD files when wanting to create a comprehensive API doc.

What are your needs? You didn't express them...

Updated the comment with an example.

maybe adding shields/badges/assets within automatically, through a GUI or being able to create a directory like structure by generating new MD files when wanting to create a comprehensive API doc.

I do not clearly know as well and wanted to just get an understanding of what everyone uses and be aware at least that such software exists if they use something with more advanced features over a natural text editing environment

Even if not general purpose, I would think a markdown editor would suffice.
