What it does
A free, privacy-first Markdown editor that lets you effortlessly create, edit, and export your files—all while keeping your data secure and local.
Edit local Markdown folders in your browser — reads and writes files directly on disk. Nothing touches a server. No accounts, no cloud uploads.
A Markdown editor that runs in your browser and saves straight to disk. No accounts, no cloud, nothing between you and the page. No account, no install, no waiting. Type below — this is the real editor, running locally in this page. Open any existing local folder as a vault instantly — no migration, no conversion. Or create a new one: name it, pick a location, and start writing immediately. No example content, no setup wizard, no configuration to get through first. Every note is a plain .md file with a small YAML header — title, status, tags. Nothing HermesMarkdown-specific, nothing you can't open in another editor or read in ten years. Full-screen by default — no toolbar, no rail, no panel…from hermesmd.netlify.app

Lovable▲1,477Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
