This looks interesting, and is actually the first of these kinds editors that I'll be trying in a very long time. I got kind of jaded with the Electron experience and always go back to nvim. Of course, the WYSIWYG experience isn't as nice in nvim, but that's not that high of a priority for me.

In regard to getting the word out, it depends on the kind of person you want to reach. If you really want to reach a "general" public, the sibling's comments sound useful, in particular binary availability.

In particular for Windows. I've clicked on the link, ended up on the GH workflows page, looked around quickly, didn't see where to grab the binary and went on my way being happy that I'm on Arch Linux and there's a package in the AUR.

Yeah, the way Windows builds are made available at the moment is honestly pretty bad, and I should improve on that. There is the problem that you need to be logged in to download that particular type of CI artifact, and more generally that the archive is somewhat bloated because the build scripts have no notion of what parts of Gtk actually need to be bundled (and so they wind up including an excess of random icons and what-not).

I don't know if I want to reach what you would call the "general public" (at least not until the program is quite a bit more polished than it is now), but I'd certainly want to reach typical Linux-using HN posters who are interested in Markdown notetaking, and the circumstance that this subthread played out as it did implies I haven't yet done so.
