not really “better” in a universal way - pandoc is still the hammer when you need serious format coverage and reliability. markitdown is solid when you mostly want raw text out for agents.
markitme is just aimed at a different thing: markdown you’d actually want to read or drop in obsidian / a wiki / a repo readme. pretty mode, frontmatter, wikilinks, batch folder stuff with a toc and light cross-linking, optional local ollama if you want. if you’re optimizing for ingestion pipelines, markitdown or pandoc might be the move. if you’re optimizing for “this looks like a real note,” that’s what i built it for
