Rune is a cross-platform markdown writer that formats as you type — code, Mermaid diagrams, math, and tables turn live while the page stays calm. It's built in Rust ( Tauri 2 ) for native speed and a small footprint, with first-class Korean / CJK typography. macOS: CI signs, notarizes, staples, and verifies both Apple Silicon and Intel DMGs. A calm, precise canvas for thinking and writing. Four principles guide it: Tauri 2 (Rust core) · CodeMirror 6 · TypeScript · Vite . Design system: docs/design.md . npm install npm run tauri dev # run the desktop app (dev mode) npm test # frontend tests (Vitest) cd src-tauri && cargo test # Rust core tests npm run tauri build # build installers for the…from github.com

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hello, I'm Hyunbin. Recently I made 'Rune' which is a small desktop .md writer/editor. I am aware that there are a lot of .md editor out there. but i wanted to build .md editor by myself. Major features : - Atomic Saves (write-temp -> fsync -> rename) so a crash can't corrupt a file, debounced autosave.…

  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…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
