#113Nice work, couple bits of feedback * The editor doesn't seem to support code fence literals (as in I can't type ``` to get a code block) * At very large markdown file sizes the performance is not great. I'm building an obsidian-style markdown editor (for my own AI knowledge base product!) over at https://github.com/kenforthewin/atomic-editor
I've been working on a suite of skills and a tiny MCP (also SQLite + SQLite-vec based) where the focus is on making it easy to produce "atoms" from quick brain dumps.
The chunking problem is "bypassed" by declaring each section a chunk, and having the LLMs rewrite drafts to sections that chunk well. That means lots of redundancy, and no "As explained above".
The intended reader isn't a human, but rather agents that generate human-friendlier prose, for different target audiences. By assuming the reader is an "expert", the idea is that it's much cheaper to mass-produce reviewed "atoms".
Itching to try that workflow with Atomic or Tolaria.

#115A lot of people are posting their similar projects in this thread. Is there anyone making a markdown knowledge management app that feels truly Mac-native, i.e. written in AppKit or SwiftUI rather than as a web page with an Electron/Tauri/whatever wrapper?

#116I would be all over this if it was a native macOS app

And I was going to say Mac native as well, but uses Tauri. I’d love some app with the polish of Bear Notes but that just edited raw Markdown files. Ideally Obsidian with the Notebook Navigator plugin (strongly inspired by Bear Notes perhaps?) and (checks list) this very specific list of plugins that I need and should be good for everyone else thanks.
I built it with this exact ethos, a curated set of "extended" functionality instead of a plugin system.
What plugins do you rely on in Obsidian?

#118A freaking web app? Boo. Boooooooooo. Thanks but no thanks.

#120I open VSCode, I have files tree, mardown preview and Claude code to edit. I tried obsidian, Notion. Still don’t get it.
