#LaTeX has already addressed a lot of this, so I guess what I would really like to see is a modern, general-purpose app incorporating the same ideas.

Introducing Sentence: an adaptive word processor for the 21st century. The intention of this is not to fully replace every single thing you can do with a traditional word processor, but I'm confident that the vast majority of things you've used them for can be done way quicker and more conveniently with this.

Mockup drawing of a simple word processing app. It has two views: the document view, where you can see all your previous documents, and the editor view, where you type in the text of your document. The formatting options are sparse, but focused. It can also scale down to mobile sizes, as shown in the mockup.

Mockup text:
Sentence
A word processor for the 21st century. Documents are stored locally as Markdown files, and can be both printed and exported to a plethora of different formats. The "markdown magic" is hidden behind the scenes, and the text is only formatted with buttons, toggles and shortcuts in the app. The interface attempts to guide the writer to coherent semantics and a clear document structure through the set of formatting options it exposes.

Each self-contained line / paragraph in the document has a block tag.
Available block tags:
- Normal Text
- Heading 1-4
- List item
- Block quote
- Monospace

The document can also have inline tags that attach additional information to a piece of text. Headings can not contain inline tags.
Available inline tags:
- Important
- Hyperlink

@bragefuglseth Looks super nice, I can see it also being used for non technical people to write a blog post and output to markdown to post in static site generators. The main barrier is usually learning markdown vs transforming it in a full CMS.
