BBones_··on Markdown editor with live preview built in C++
Thank you for reviewing all of this :) I’ll add points #1, #2, #3, #5, #6, #8, and #10 to my development list.

As for points #4 and #7, I think auto-save (and Ctrl + S) and the Ctrl + N shortcuts are fine for now.

I specifically wanted the editor to behave this way (#9); being able to position each line of the note anywhere on the screen makes it easier for me to read, since it lets me see the last part of the note at the top of the screen.

#11 I intended to develop one, but there’s still a long way to go; let’s see how this project evolves!

Thanks! Even though I'm happy with the result, I'm open to any suggestions on how to improve it. Let me know if you have any advice

I’ve created (with a lot of help from AI) an editor similar to Obsidian: please give a warm welcome to Emerald! It’s a native Markdown editor with a live preview, built in C++ with as few dependencies as possible, designed to be simple and effective (at least for my needs). It still needs a few tweaks to be perfect, but check it out if you’re curious!
