Ferrite: Fast Markdown/Text/Code editor in Rust with native Mermaid diagrams
Built a Markdown editor using Rust + egui. v0.2.1 just dropped with major Mermaid improvements:
→ Native Mermaid diagrams - Flowcharts, sequence, state, ER, git graphs - pure Rust, no JS
→ Split view - Raw + rendered side-by-side with sync scrolling
→ Syntax highlighting - 40+ languages with large file optimization
→ JSON/YAML/TOML tree viewer - Structured editing with expand/collapse
→ Git integration - File tree shows modified/staged/untracked status
Also: minimap, zen mode, auto-save, session restore, code folding indicators.
~15MB binary, instant startup. Windows/Linux/macOS.
