Pinery▲161Hi HN, I'm Heberti, the solo developer working on Pinery. I've spent the last couple of years building Pinery with a single mission: I wanted a tool that bridged the gap between simple Markdown editors and complex layout software like InDesign. Pinery is my attempt at a solution. It combines a clean, distraction-free Markdown editor with a powerful, real-time visual styling mode. You can control typography, spacing, and layout visually, and see the changes instantly. Key features: - Write in Markdown with AI-assisted text tools (leveraging macOS frameworks) - Customize the design with…

Hi HN! I got so frustrated with modern WYSIWYG editors that I started to play around with building my own. The problem I had was simple: I wanted a low-tech way to type styled text, but I didn't want to load a complex 500KB library, especially if I was going to initialize it dozens of times on the same page. Markdown in a plain was the best alternative to a full WYSIWYG, but its main drawback is how ugly it looks without any formatting. I can handle it, but my clients certainly can't. I went down the ContentEditable rabbit hole for a few years, but always came to realize others had solved it…

Hi HN, This is a TUI app which displays interactive Markdown documents. Interactive in the sense that you can scroll code fences / tables / and click links. There's a Table of Contents extracted from the MD, and a very rudimentary browser like forward + back.
