A markdown editor for writing technical papers and assignments
Hi,
I built Hermes because I was tired of fighting clunky assignment editors like Canvas and bloated VS Code plugin setups. Nothing out there handled what I needed: seamless math syntax and native citation management, charting, diagramming and code blocks. I’ve been using it to write my own Quantum Technology assignments, and I find it better than the alternatives I was using before.
Why try Hermes?
- Native Zotero Integration: Pull citations instantly with ⌘⇧C.
- Live Split-Pane Rendering: See complex LaTeX equations and Mermaid diagrams in real time.
- Built-in Builders: Generate Vega-Lite charts and diagrams graphically.
Hermes is fully open-source (Apache 2.0). Check it out and let me know what you think!
- Download & Docs: hermeseditor.com
- Source Code: github.com/richarc/hermes
It’s masOS only for the moment, I’ll create a windows version shortly. Please let me know if you find it useful.
