hey r/linuxapps 👋

just shipped Linux support for marka.md — a free, local markdown editor i built

for organizing the .md files i kept pasting into Claude / ChatGPT.

three Linux flavors:

- AppImage (works on any distro)

- .deb (Debian / Ubuntu / Mint / Pop!_OS)

- .rpm (Fedora / RHEL / openSUSE / Rocky)

stack: tauri 2 + react 19, ~12MB binary, no telemetry, MIT licensed,

auto-updates via signed releases.

features:

- IDE-style folder sidebar with drag-to-organize

- Ctrl+Shift+C copies clean markdown to clipboard

- live preview (markdown-it + shiki + mermaid)

- reading mode, find/replace, Ctrl+K palette

- 5 themes (catppuccin family + matcha)

honestly built it for myself because vim → cat → paste into Claude was getting

old.

honest feedback welcome 🐧

hey r/freesoftware 👋

Matt here, indie dev from the Philippines. shipped my first product yesterday —markamd.vercel.app, a calm macOS markdown editor i built for myself because i kept losing track of the .md files i was pasting into AI chats.

built it to be the minimum surface for the "open a folder, read a file, copy clean markdown, paste somewhere" loop. no plugins, no graph, no cloud, no accounts, no telemetry. just your files on disk and the editor.

free, MIT licensed, notarized for macOS:

would love your honest take 🐙

hey r/buildinpublic 👋

Matt here, indie dev from the Philippines. launched markamd.vercel.app 🐙 yesterday — a small

macOS markdown editor i built for myself because i kept losing track of the .md

files i was pasting into Claude.

3 days from idea to a notarized macOS app. felt fast even to me.

if it's useful to anyone else, would mean a lot to hear your honest take.

hey r/tauri 👋

shipped my first Tauri 2 app last week — marka.md, a local-first macOS markdown

editor for organizing the .md files i kept pasting into Claude / ChatGPT.

stack:

- Tauri 2 + React 19 + Vite 7 + Bun

- codemirror 6 + markdown-it + shiki + mermaid + katex

- ~12 MB binary, notarized, auto-updating via tauri-plugin-updater + minisign

features:

- IDE-style folder sidebar with HTML5 drag-and-drop

- ⌘⇧C → clean markdown to clipboard

- live preview, reading mode, ⌘K palette, 5 themes

- find/replace, export to PDF

- free, MIT, open source

a few tauri-specific notes that might help others:

- needed `bundle.createUpdaterArtifacts: true` to get `latest.json` + `.sig`

emitted (cost me 2 release attempts to figure out)

- set `dragDropEnabled: false` to use HTML5 drag-drop instead of tauri's native

handler

- `secrets.*` not allowed in GitHub Actions `if:` — hoist to `env`
