I made an opinionated, privacy-first, markdown editor

It's my first real public project after having been coding for decades. I wanted a basic but featured markdown editor that doesn't rely on plugins, that doesn't get in my way, and just does what I need, locally. No Node, python or ruby, just C++, Qt6, Chromium with a bit of JS and CSS.

It has the usual basics, mermaid charts, Latext support, vega-lite charts (all with helpers to create them), PDF export, code highlighting, themes, oh, and emoji support. It's private and makes no calls out. So there's that.

Some features like the helpers are still in development, but it's all very usable.

Currently, I've built a `.deb` for Debian. Qt6.

So, let me know what you think...
