smep — a Simple Markdown Editor & Previewer, written in Rust

smep is a markdown editor with live preview, built in pure Rust on the GPUI framework (the UI toolkit behind the Zed editor).

Status

0.0.1 is a name-reservation release. It ships a single binary that prints its version and exits. No editing or preview functionality exists yet.

Goals

• Pure Rust, no web view, no Electron.
• GPU-accelerated UI via GPUI.
• Side-by-side editor and rendered preview, updated as you type.
• CommonMark + GFM (tables, task lists, strikethrough, footnotes).
• Fast startup, low memory, single static binary.

Install

cargo install smep
