I often need to convert rich text copied from websites or Word/odt documents to Markdown, and sometimes vice versa. Is there an open source Markdown editor that lets me simultaneously paste in and edit a document both as WYSIWYG and Markdown source code? Preferably side by side.
I've actually been using the Reddit redesign's Markdown editor for this, since it lets me switch between a WYSIWYG text box and a Markdown source code editor, but that's obviously not at all a good option.

How about Apostrophe?

Huh? Nearly every editor can do this. For work, I use Visual Studio Code for that, maybe you additionally need a Markdown Extension, but I'm pretty sure it works out of the box.

Hedgedoc if hosting is an option.
Also, you might be interested in pandoc for converting docx/odt (...) directly to md.

Obsidian let’s you edit with a preview version next to the source version, or even edit the source inline whilst the rest of the document remains as WYSIWYG.

Obsidian is cool yeah. But it ain't open source.

Oh boy a 3 year old post is being put in people's feeds. There needs to be a warning for old posts

I use Joplin which is rather complete, by default it shows wysiwyg, but you can display both.
There are many plug-ins as well, for example to paste Excel/CSV as markdown tables.
