So I built Lilo — a compact Markdown widget.

I got tired of having to choose between launching heavy note-taking apps just to write down two sentences and using dumb scratchpads with zero structure.

So I built Lilo — a compact Markdown widget.

The main idea was to have something always within reach that opens instantly and builds a connected knowledge graph between ideas without hogging system memory. Built it entirely in Rust, so it runs fast and lightweight, while your notes simply stay as local .md files.

Decided to open-source it in case anyone else finds it useful:
