Nice work, couple bits of feedback

* The editor doesn't seem to support code fence literals (as in I can't type ``` to get a code block)

* At very large markdown file sizes the performance is not great.

I'm building an obsidian-style markdown editor (for my own AI knowledge base product!) over at https://github.com/kenforthewin/atomic-editor

Atomic looks quite interesting, and the "wiki synthesis" is particularly interesting:

I've been working on a suite of skills and a tiny MCP (also SQLite + SQLite-vec based) where the focus is on making it easy to produce "atoms" from quick brain dumps.

The chunking problem is "bypassed" by declaring each section a chunk, and having the LLMs rewrite drafts to sections that chunk well. That means lots of redundancy, and no "As explained above".

The intended reader isn't a human, but rather agents that generate human-friendlier prose, for different target audiences. By assuming the reader is an "expert", the idea is that it's much cheaper to mass-produce reviewed "atoms".

Itching to try that workflow with Atomic or Tolaria.
