Writing tables in Markdown requires tedious manual alignment. A dedicated editor could offer spreadsheet-like UI with real-time preview and CSV import/export.

Sell as a standalone macOS app or VS Code extension. Start with basic formatting and expand to pivot tables or SQL export.

MVP: A web-based table generator that outputs Markdown syntax. Risk: Big editors may add this feature natively.
