Well, it does what it says on the tin:)

https://github.com/chunqiuyiyu/xie?tab=readme-ov-file#prereq... says it needs NodeJS; is that just for building? Could you make a release on github that includes it as a single .html file that could be downloaded and used with no deps but a browser?

https://github.com/chunqiuyiyu/xie/tree/gh-pages

in the gh-pages branch you have the final index.html. You can also literally download/save the page as well, should be the same.

It does not use any other deps than the final index.html

Now, speaking about the project itself, maybe it would be good if the notes get also saved into localStorage in some way. One browser refresh or reboot and it all goes away if it wasn't saved.

It was not obvious to me that I needed to click the New button first. I clicked around everywhere else and tried typing and no go. Then after clicking New and getting a text area, it made sense and I said "well of course".

So maybe not too many other people had this problem, but perhaps the top line could say "Click New, then just write." =)

And/or start the page off with a note that describes the basic process:

"click new, write, and click Publish to finish the note, then click Save to save it to index.html on your system"

When I went back to edit a note, Publish didn't work for me.

Trying this in Vivaldi, I didn't try on another browser yet.

if it auto saved to local storage then it would 100% be a daily use Markdown capable editor
