Hi everyone!
I've always wanted a minimal Markdown editor with live preview that felt *fully native* to macOS. (Sorry, Typora and Obsidian.) With Claude Code and the summer, I finally had the tools and the time to tinker around. Hence...
Introducing [Edmund](https://github.com/I7T5/Edmund), a open-sourced, lightweight, native Markdown editor made for macOS.
- **Requirements**: macOS 14 Sonoma and above
- **Repository**:
I will confess though that this app was 99% Claude Code engineering. I am not a professional Swift developer. However, I was very intentional about keeping the app as native and lightweight as possible, thus influencing many architectural decisions. I also put a lot of thought into user experience and polish, and I hope it came through :)
