Spelling Mode
I'd love for Marked to have a button/preference/something which checked spelling: just underlined the misspelled words in the preview.
I like to write some of my markdown documents in Emacs which doesn't support the OS X's native check-spelling-while-typing mode. There are ways to get this kind of thing in Emacs (flyspell-mode, installing various dictionaries via homebrew, hacking up .emacs, etc), but it's not much fun.
The reason I don't use something like Byword (native and allows highlighting misspelled words) is that in a programming context, I sometimes want to produce documents someone can page through with "less" or search with "grep". Giant long lines for each paragraph are a nuisance in that context.
Thanks!

It's your lucky day, I just added in After the Deadline support yesterday for the next release. Because the preview isn't a text field, I can't run the system spell checker on it. But AtD does an even better job, and the only drawback is that it requires an internet connection to function.

That's pretty neat! I got flyspell mode working in Emacs, and, well, it does work, but this will be much better.
Now that I think about it, I bet having the spell-checking be part of the preview rather than the actual writing process is grist for the Distraction Free Writing theorists' mill.
