Show HN: I made a md editor without the stuff that distracts me from writing

I built Tape because I have a hard time focusing on my actual task when the software is bloated with features and fluff. Apps like Obsidian are great, but I found myself spending more time configuring plugins and exploring features than actually writing.

Tape is intentionally minimal: - Just plain .md files (no proprietary format, sync however you want) - Fast search (ctrl+k), live preview (ctrl+tab), and that's mostly it - No graph view, no canvas, no daily notes system – just notes - Cross-platform via Wails (Linux/Windows/macOS)

The entire config is one JSON file at your notes root. Nothing hidden, nothing complex.

I realize "simple" means different things to different people, so I'm curious: what's the minimum feature set you need in a markdown editor? What features actually distract you from writing?

Any feedback on my project?
