BoltPage

A multi-window, cross-platform desktop Markdown editor and viewer with support for JSON, YAML, and txt files thrown in. Also reads PDF, no editor. Built with Rust and Tauri for maximum performance.

I work with a lot of Markdown files, and didn't like using browsers or code editors to open them. A 10KB Markdown file should take 0.1 seconds to open, and not require 500MB of RAM. So, I built BoltPage to open files fast, to keep a whole bunch of them open at the same time.

Since I was there, I also made sure they would not look like dog poop, and that you could make minor edits. You are welcome to use BoltPage for yourself, in any setting. Just check the licence details at the end of this page.
