I made an account here just to express appreciation. Panda is great. I tried all the different markdown viewers and editors I could find and none are as pleasant and beautiful as Panda.

I just downloaded the latest Panda build and wanted to confirm that so far it has no file management—i.e. the only way for me to open and edit files is straight from the directory? In other words, no folder tree in the left sidebar as in iA Writer or Typora? I understand Panda is still under development. I just wanted to make sure it’s not there and I’m missing it.

Correct. You are not missing it, Panda doesn’t have a side panel document viewer/outline.

I love Panda. What’s the closest software available like it for iOS, linking with .md files in iCloud?
