What it does today

What works in the current early build.

Files
Opens .md, .markdown, .mdown, .mkd, and .mdx. Save, Save As, and optional autosave write straight back to the file.
Editing
Blocks render until you click into one, then edit in place as Markdown. Undo, redo, and keyboard navigation between blocks.
Formatting
Headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, links (⌘K), lists, quotes, and code from the Format menu or a toolbar above the selection, at the top, at the bottom, or hidden.
Typography
Font, size, line height, content width, and density. Load your own theme files and rebind editor hotkeys.
Safety
Asks before discarding unsaved changes, and reloads a clean file when it changes on disk.
