I open sourced https://asnotes.io - it's markdown based with wikilinking, task management, a kanban board and static site publishing. It runs locally and is Git friendly. The aim was to build something using formats and tech that is likely to stand the test of time.

Very nice! Would you have any recommendations for the leanest compatible "host"? Instead of adding this to my VSCode, I would rather use it as a separate app. Currently, I use a naked Zed install for Markdown because it launches faster than my system apps (and than Cursor, VSCode, etc.).
I haven't tested Void Editor, but I believe that's the 'leanest' vscode fork. I really should give it a try actually!
What does the AS stand for?

A polite fyi, when skim reading this, it looked like it said AssNotes…

The company is named App Software Ltd, so presumably that.
You can write your ass notes with it too if you like ;)
Awww... It's a plugin for VSCode. I've long since moved to Zed and don't want to wrangle multiple editors :(
Wow this looks amazing. The extended demo really looks incredible.
