Show HN: Rune – A focused Markdown writer for desktop (Tauri/Rust)

[narnia0981]

Hello, I'm Hyunbin.

Recently I made 'Rune' which is a small desktop .md writer/editor.

I am aware that there are a lot of .md editor out there. but i wanted to build .md editor by myself.

Major features :

- Atomic Saves (write-temp -> fsync -> rename) so a crash can't corrupt a file, debounced autosave.

- Pasted/dropped images are content-addressed (sha256) into an assets.

- Workspace folder + file tree, Chrome-style tabs

- Interactive task checkboxes, readable/wide width toggle; self-contained HTML and PDF export

- currently supports English/Korean/Chinese/Japanese

Any sort of feedback / contribution is always welcome.

I gave it a try today using Linux Mint 22.3 with 16 GB of memory. Writing experience is OK, the UI is beautiful. However, when I load a medium markdown file (less than 200 lines), the UI is a bit slow. Scrolling and switching between two tabs take a lot of time. I tested after compiling it using `cargo tauri build`.
