Scratchmark released!
Hi, about half a year ago I made a post asking for a little help with my Markdown editor. In case anyone got interested back then, I'm happy say that after a lot of work, it's finally published.
There's still a lot to do, like image support and Markdown extensions (did you know that for example strikethrough and ^superscript^ aren't part of the core spec), but the fundamentals are at a level that I feel is acceptable to put out there.
Thanks for everyone in at the original thread. Despite GTK sometimes making me want to do violence, naming was indeed the hardest part.

To the name to the app to the logo, it's just perfection

you did well with the 'hardest part'. good name.
those 'extensions' to the spec with the extra formatting are pretty much a must-have feature.
gonna give it a spin when i get back to the office.
love the placeholder on your domain (yea, i looked there too).

What does it want to or already do different or better than ThiefMD?
I see the release has a flatpak. A Windows binary or installer would be great too, attached to the release, so it doesn't require cargo toolchain and build to use.
Wait. Does it even support Windows? I guess not? I read Rust and GTK and assumed it would.

I tried to contribute to ThiefMD last year, but then realized the author had disappeared and maintenance had stopped. The author's been gone for more than two years now, so I think it's reasonable to call the project dead. I checked the date and it seems that my open pull request celebrates its first birthday this friday.
I originally tried to fork it and port it to GTK4, but most of the functionality relied on removed GTK3 stuff and the programming language itself is dead too - I had to compile Vala language server from source because the link to the debian repo was dead 6 months ago (and apparently still is!)
Flathub was the first goal. It should be relatively easy to do Windows as well. I do need to make sure the code works on Windows, as there might be a few surprises, like forward slashes in paths. E: It was a good question, added a section about this to the readme.
