🚀 MD Editor v1.0.0 First Release
I built a fast, distraction-free Markdown editor for Windows using JS + Go + Wails.
Simple, native, and actually usable for real development workflows (not another bloated editor).
✨ Features
• Native Windows file dialogs (open/save directly to disk)
• Split view: editor + live preview
• Real-time Markdown rendering
• Syntax highlighting (JS, Python, Bash, CSS, etc.)
• Multi-file support with sidebar
• Formatting toolbar (bold, headings, lists, tables, code blocks)
• Find in document with match count
• Task lists with interactive checkboxes
• Save directly to disk (no temp copies)
• Clean dark theme
⚡️ Built with performance in mind using Go but still optimizing further.
📥 Download (Windows):
Download
⭐️ Repo: https://github.com/bilalshemsu1/md-file-reader/
💡 Why I built this:
Most Markdown editors I tried felt either too heavy or not practical for real use. This is my attempt to fix that.
Would love feedback, feature suggestion?

Introducing Telegram Search Engine 🎉
TSE is a telegram crawler you can build other projects on top of.
Out of the box it comes with:
✅ Channel discovery — keyword "phone" and it will search using that or give it a seed channel -> link-graph crawling (follows mentions, forwards) that snowballs seeds into thousands of channels
✅ AI analysis — a local LLM classifies every channel, writes a summary, no API keys.
✅ Real search — typo-tolerant, relevance-ranked search (Meilisearch)
✅ Quality scoring — channels ranked by activity, content quality, network influence (PageRank) & freshness
✅ Community graph — an interactive, Obsidian-style map of how channels reference each other.
🐳 Self-hosted & open source — one docker (Postgres + search + API + UI).
The live demo explores a frozen snapshot of tech-community channels as a proof of concept.
