Gtk+Adwaita Markdown Editor in ~600 lines

dev_tools

Per Lobsters, a developer has published a compact markdown editor built with GTK+Adwaita, implemented in roughly six hundred lines of code. It uses a GTK webview and pulls marked.js and KaTeX from content delivery networks. The creator describes it as a proof-of-concept that grew out of work on a larger GTK application, drawing inspiration from Apostrophe—and notes that building this kind of tool has become surprisingly straightforward.
