Drafts is marketed as a Markdown editor, and supposedly it saves your files in iCloud. However, if you open the "Drafts" folder inside iCloud Drive there is not a Markdown file in sight.
In my opinion, the biggest value of using Markdown is to avoid vendor lock-in, and to never risk being held captive by a single app, especially one with a subscription model. (Not to mention the ability to open the files with different apps that have different strengths, more or less a corollary of the first thing. I should be free to use TextMate or Visual Studio Code or

(Not to mention the ability to open the files with different apps that have different strengths, more or less a corollary of the first thing. I should be free to use TextMate or Visual Studio Code or nvim if something I want to do with the file is better done there.) Drafts seems like a very useful app, but what in the world is going on with my Markdown files?
