I still think local-first Markdown workflows age better than heavily cloud-dependent note systems for a lot of technical work
Plain text + Git + Markdown remains ridiculously hard to beat for
portability, veesion
What exactly do you mean? I may have missed something with all the changes, but if I'm not mistaken, the editor itself doesn't offer any direct integration with “artificial intelligence”.
I'm not saying the new version contains entirely AI-generated code. Clearly there have been pull requests accepted from human contributors over the years.
But I do see that the commit history on the development branch has been pretty sparse for the 4 years until three weeks ago when they added Claude-related files to .gitignore.
Huh. That's a surprise. It was abandoned for several years, but now it's revived.
...That said, it seems like this project uses AI for development now. Maybe that's why they decided to continue the project (low development costs), but I'm not sure.

Lowkey I'm curious how the AI integration affects the editing experience. Does it change the way you approach writing and formatting?

The project was abandoned for 4 years. Surprised to see it return.
...It also seems like the developers use AI. Maybe they decided to continue developing it because it's low-cost or something to that effect.

The new version includes changes spanning over 400 commits / pull requests. Many of these date back to a time when chatbots were not even a thing yet.

This is awesome! My favourite writing tool. Thanks to everyone involved!
