Show HN: Write.md – A free, open-source, themeable Markdown editor for macOS • Hacker News Board

I'm not sure people seeing "Made for Apple silicon" will expect an Electron app.

That's fair enough. I'll change that, so it doesn't seem misleading

tbh I kinda dig the glass aesthetic. I understand it's not for anyone, that's why you can theme it
