My quest continues to build "Apple Notes, but markdown and cross-platform." Big changes: Switched from Svelte to React Switched from raw ProseMirror to TipTap Switched from opening files to writing files to a directory automatically, complete with file name generation ✨

Very late to this but any chance your old svelte based editor is available somewhere ?

Curious about the Svelte to React transition. Seems like a big one, and relatively unpopular in the zeitgeist.

Coding is power 🙃

Interesting! I want to hear more about to Svelte to React move when it seems like everyone is advising for the opposite and are about to convince me. What was the reasoning? Was it an ecosystem thing?

Have you tried Obsidian? It's basically this.

Why Svelte to React? Two reasons: - SvelteKit felt a bit heavy with its file conventions. React + React Router felt more stripped back - I plan to embed TLDraw documents in my editor, and TLDraw is React-based. Since TipTap/React is a major portion of the setup, seemed right to React everything

Switching from ProseMirror to TipTap was a game changer for my project too. Way smoother.

Looks great! Will you release it at some point?

bold of you to assume apple notes users even know what markdown is.

Great idea! Will you include forced page breaks?
