Notepads
A modern, lightweight text editor with a minimalist design
I have been waiting long enough for a modern Windows 10 notepad app to come before I decided to create one myself. Don’t get me wrong, Notepad++, VS Code, and Sublime are great text editors. I have used them all and I will continue to use them in the future. However, they are either too heavy or look less appealing. There are times that I just wanted to use Windows Notepad for things like writing notes or editing config files. So I decided to create a win32 notepad replacement here and try to give it a modern look and feel. Most importantly, it has to be blazingly fast and appeal to everyone. -

Inkdown
A WYSIWYG Markdown editor, improve reading and editing experience
Inkdown (bluestone) is a Markdown reading, editing, and sharing tool. Almost fully compatible with the GitHub Flavored Markdown standard, while extending the Mermaid graphics and Katex formula, supporting light and dark styles, and somewhat different from other WYSIWYG editors, Inkdown does not pursue complete customization. Its core goal is comfortable reading, smooth editing of Markdown, and document sharing in the simplest way possible. As a document publisher, markdown source code mode is undoubtedly efficient and free, but as a note, it is not conducive to reading. The table element of markdown is not conducive to writing, and the double-column mode is not conducive to focusing, so the Inkdown Editor was developed. It combines rich text with markdown editing habits to help you record daily, and saves it in standard markdown format, which allows your notes to be used anywhere and backed up in any way. -

Ink
A fast and flexible Markdown parser written in Swift.
Ink is a fast and flexible Markdown parsing library written in Swift that is designed to convert Markdown content into structured representations suitable for rendering or further processing. Originally developed as part of the Publish ecosystem, it focuses on performance and extensibility while maintaining a relatively simple and understandable internal architecture. The parser operates by reading Markdown input through a structured reader system that processes fragments and determines how each section should be interpreted. It uses error handling as part of its control flow, allowing the parser to efficiently decide whether to advance or rewind when processing different Markdown constructs. Ink is intended to be both production-ready and developer-friendly, encouraging users to explore and extend its functionality as needed.
