Podlite Desktop Editor 0.6.1 is out

Just released a new version of Podlite Desktop Editor - a free markup editor that works with Markdown and extends it with some pretty useful features.

What's Podlite?

Think of it as Markdown++. All your standard Markdown works via =markdown blocks. It's block-oriented, so everything stays clean and readable. Check out the Podlite Quick Tour: https://podlite.org/quick-tour

What's new in 0.6.1

Rebuilt the editor from scratch with updated libraries. Here's what changed:

  • Syntax highlighting that actually works well
  • Inline formatting: B<bold>, I<italic>, C<code>, L<links>, O<strikethrough>
  • Click links with Cmd/Ctrl to open them
  • Link to other files with file: schema - they open in new windows
  • Text search (finally!)
  • Fixed a bunch of window resize bugs
  • macOS Tahoe support

You can toggle between half-screen and full-screen preview with keyboard shortcuts.

Download

Available free on all platforms:
