Yes, AppKit/SwiftUI, but there is also rust.

> Curious what you're drawing the grid with

Swift / Metal. I vibe coded a wgpu version for the grid, but then switched to Metal.

Linux / Windows is in plan, Otty will support those OS as well :)

ilchenearly··on Ask HN: Best Markdown editor for OS X?
Typora (http://typora.io). with beautiful design and powerful functionalities

Haven't consider that. But the windows version is based on node-WebKit which has a built-in support of cross-platform, so there maybe a Linux version in the feature.

My screen is small, so I don't want to use those markdown editors which split their window into source section and preview section, I want to one window for both editing and previewing, so I developed Typora. It's still under development so it's still an alpha version.

Any comments are appreciated.

ilchenearly··on Why Markdown Is Not My Favourite Language (2012)
To me, one big issue is that you cannot use markdown to present everything, for example, one cannot use it to produce something like <pre>`d`<pre>, I mean he cannot use ``d`` to do that, right? Also you cannot write

```

```markdown

## HEADER

```

```

to produce a fenced code block which contains a markdown source code for code block.

Also, different markdown editor use different markdown parser. So, same source code will be rendered differently in different editor.

This makes a similar concept with marked2 (http://marked2app.com), you write markdown on any app you like and then preview it using another tool. But personally, I prefer to do the previewing and writing on the sometime. So my ideal markdown eidtor is something like Typora (http://typora.io)
