Katib – A Markdown Editor for Arabic, Urdu, Farsi and Hebrew

In plain words

Katib is a distraction-free Markdown editor designed for right-to-left languages including Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, and Hebrew. It automatically detects the language being typed and adjusts text direction accordingly, while supporting bidirectional text editing and Markdown formatting. The editor prioritizes typographical quality and usability for writers working in these languages who want to focus on content without manually managing text direction settings.

From the sources

Katib is a distraction-free text editor for languages that are written from right to left. Whether it is Arabic, Persian, or Urdu, we sweat the important details like typographical excellence, usable bi-directional text editing, and simple Markdown formatting so that you can focus on writing and being productive. Never have to set writing direction ever again. Katib's algorithms recognize the language you're typing in and sets the text direction accordingly. And if you ever need to explicitly set the directionality of your document— well, you can do that too. Markdown is a simple, light-weight formatting language built for writers. Ever use a pair of asterisks to emphasize a word? *That* is…from katibapp.com

  An open-source, collaborative, WYSIWYG Markdown editor2023 · editor.vrite.io · ▲460

  Inspired by the design and UI/UX of apps like Notion, and utility of open-source apps like StackEdit, I decided to create a minimalistic, local-only WYSIWYG Markdown editor. Some features worth highlighting: - Monaco editor and Prettier integration for code snippets - Tables (apparently the holy grail of WYSIWYG editing) - Embeds (for CodePen, CodeSandbox and YouTube, most useful for HTML or JSON exports) - Accepts Markdown paste-in, and "exports"/generates HTML, Markdown and JSON outputs - Collaboration (with real-time awareness and initial commenting system, available only when…

  Ki Editor – Multicursor syntactical editor2024 · ki-editor.github.io · ▲138

  Hi everyone, I have been developing this editor, Ki, for over a year, and have employed it substantially in all kinds of development (including Ki itself) for at least 3 months. I think it is mostly crystallized, thus I'm happy to share it with you today. Its main strength is first-class multi-cursor and structural (syntax) editing, which is a rare combination in the realm of editors (TUI or GUI alike). Hope you'll enjoy it!

  Kanban-CLI – a web UI for local Markdown todo listsMay 2026 · github.com · ▲15

  As we all are, I've been experimenting with ways to reduce external saas spend, and continually bring traditionally external pieces of context (prs, docs, trello boards) into the one mono repo. I have toyed with a markdown todo list and setting claude/codex into a "ralph" loop previously, but always missed the web ui for organising, planning, and tracking things in progress. So codex and I build kanban-cli, an installable or npx-runnable cli util that takes one or more markdown files, and uses markdown headers and todo syntax to track and manage agentic tasks. Let me know your thoughts,…
