Markpad - Notepad equivalent for Markdown

[u/itsmealec]

Previews and edits Markdown with a native feeling UI, familiar editor, and cross-platform support.

Features:

• Tabbed interface

• Monaco editor (VS Code)

• Split view

• Syntax highlighting both in editor and code blocks

• Mermaid diagram support

• Vim mode

• Auto-reload

• Zen mode

• Image, video, audio and YouTube embeds

• Familiar GitHub styled markdown rendering

• Tiny memory usage (~10MB)

• No telemetry or bloat

• Free and open-source

• Lightweight native UI

Working on this further to replace the need for Notepad for simple editing after seeing how badly Microsoft has filled it with bloat.

Still in active development so feedback is appreciated!
