Capture the thought.

Hanji is a lightweight, local-first Markdown editor built in Rust. It uses local Markdown files as the source of truth and presents them through a source-backed WYSIWYG view.

The editor is designed for simple writing: open a Markdown file, edit it directly, and keep the saved document readable outside Hanji.

Rust core checks:

cargo test --workspace --exclude hanji

GPUI desktop app:

make app
make app FILE=/path/to/note.md
