With built-in Vim keybindings, wiki-links, backlinks, search, frontmatter, and more, Nuza keeps note-taking fast, minimal, and fully local.

Could you build this?
Yes Building a local Markdown editor in Electron or Tauri with standard features like wiki-links, backlinks, and Vim keybindings using existing open-source editor libraries (like CodeMirror or Monaco) is well within vibe-coding scope.
