Could you build this?
Partial Building a cross-platform native Markdown editor that supports simultaneous WYSIWYG/source editing with shared undo stacks, synchronized split-scrolling, and local diagram/math rendering requires sophisticated text-engine architecture.
What it would actually take: A robust implementation needs a rich text framework (e.g., Tree-sitter or custom AST parsers mapped to NSTextStorage / UITextView / Android SpannableString) that keeps source and preview synchronized with bidirectional cursor mapping and unified undo managers. Math and diagram rendering (KaTeX, Mermaid) must run in headless local JS contexts or native renderers without internet connectivity. High-fidelity native text editing and custom layout managers across macOS, visionOS, and Android require deep platform-specific UI framework mastery.
