I've been working on a personal project — CrabPad, a Markdown editor for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Why another editor? Because I wanted a tool that: ✍️ Is fast — Rust backend (Tauri), zero lag, instant startup 🧘 Has Zen Mode — full focus, zero distractions 🔒 Respects privacy — files stay on your device, no cloud, no accounts, no subscriptions ⌨️ Is keyboard-driven — Command Palette, global search, custom keybindings 📐 Supports pro Markdown — GFM tables, KaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, admonitions, live preview
