    markdown-rs

    markdown-rs

    CommonMark compliant markdown parser in Rust with ASTs and extensions

    markdown-rs is an open-source markdown parser written in Rust. It’s implemented as a state machine (#![no_std] + alloc) that emits concrete tokens, so that every byte is accounted for, with positional info. The API then exposes this information as an AST, which is easier to work with, or it compiles directly to HTML. While most markdown parsers work towards compliancy with CommonMark (or GFM), this project goes further by following how the reference parsers (cmark, cmark-gfm) work, which is confirmed with thousands of extra tests. Other than CommonMark and GFM, this project also supports common extensions to markdown such as MDX, math, and frontmatter.

    Ferrite

    Ferrite

    A fast, lightweight text editor for Markdown, JSON, YAML, and TOML

    Ferrite is a fast, lightweight desktop text editor built for people who spend a lot of time working in structured text formats and want a snappy, native-feeling app instead of a heavy IDE. It focuses on common “config and docs” formats like Markdown and popular structured data files, so it fits naturally into developer, DevOps, and technical writing workflows. The editor is designed around responsiveness and low overhead, prioritizing quick startup, smooth scrolling, and predictable editing even when you are jumping between many small files. It also aims to reduce friction when reading and tweaking structured documents by offering format-aware conveniences and a UI that stays out of the way. Ferrite positions itself as a pragmatic daily driver for notes, documentation, and configuration edits, especially when you do not need a full language server stack.

    kindling

    kindling

    Fiction writing app that scaffolds your draft from your outline.

    Kindling is a free, open-source desktop writing app for fiction writers who outline before they draft. Instead of staring at a blank page, you write directly into a scaffold built from your own outline — scene beats become expandable writing prompts, with character and location references surfacing automatically as you write. Import from Scrivener (.scriv), Plottr (.pltr), yWriter (.yw7), Obsidian Longform, or Markdown. Export to Scrivener, DOCX (Standard Manuscript Format), EPUB, Markdown, or Longform. Beat sheet templates included: Hero's Journey, Save the Cat, Three-Act Structure, and more. No AI. No subscription. No cloud. All projects are local SQLite files — no accounts, no data collection. Works completely offline. MIT licensed. Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

    Crowbook

    Crowbook

    Converts books written in Markdown to HTML, LaTeX/PDF and EPUB

    Crowbook's aim is to allow you to write a book in Markdown without worrying about formatting or typography and let the program generate HTML, PDF and EPUB output for you. Its focus is novels and fiction, and the default settings should (hopefully) generate readable books with correct typography without requiring you to worry about it. To see what Crowbook's output looks like, you can read the Crowbook guide rendered in HTML, PDF or EPUB. Crowbook will parse this file and generate HTML, EPUB, and/or PDF output formats, according to the settings in the configuration file. Crowbook supports HTML, PDF and EPUB (either version 2 or 3) as output formats. See the Crowbook User Guide rendered in HTML, EPUB and PDF. Crowbook uses pulldown-cmark and thus should support most of CommonMark Markdown.

    Xi Editor

    Xi Editor

    A modern editor with a backend written in Rust

    xi Editor (often styled “Xi”) is a project to build a modern, high-performance text editor designed for large files, extensibility, and native UI integration. Its architecture splits a thin UI layer from a high-performance core engine (written in Rust) that handles buffer editing, syntax highlighting, undo/redo, searching, and background processing asynchronously. This separation lets the core focus on speed and concurrency, while multiple frontends (macOS, GTK, web) handle rendering, input, and platform bridging. Xi is designed to scale to huge files (gigabyte scale) without lag, thanks to a rope data structure and efficient diffing algorithms. Plugins communicate with the core via JSON-RPC, enabling asynchronous extensions without blocking editing responsiveness. The overall aim is to reimagine text editing for modern machines and workflows, delivering scalability, modularity, and an editor architecture built for the next decade.
