I was also able to get a site up for the app using Astro and Cloudflare Workers and I am definitely going to be using Cloudflare Workers for the foreseeable future due to how easy, and fast, it was to get a deployment setup.

It's built with Electron, Vite, React, and Tailwind. I'm planning to add integrations with Astro & Hugo, and use Zod for frontmatter validation once I figure out the best approach. I'm also looking to implement a WYSIWYG editor for the body content.

The project is still in the early stages, so not all planned features are implemented yet, but I wanted to share a quick WIP demo of the current state.

I'm building a minimalist, local-only markdown editor with frontmatter (YAML and TOML) support. It's a niche tool intended for developers who write in markdown for their blogs and use static site generators like Astro or Hugo.

It feels great to finally be able to show this off and hopefully get some feedback on it as I do plan to continually update it with enhancements and new features for the foreseeable future.
