Partial Building cross-platform native editors (macOS, iOS, Android) with visual/plain markdown dual sync, fine-grained paragraph-level version control, and high-fidelity LaTeX/Mermaid-to-PDF/EPUB rendering requires deep native platform integration and complex document AST manipulation.
What it would actually take: The architecture would require a shared core (likely Rust or C++ or advanced Kotlin Multiplatform/Swift) handling Markdown AST parsing, diffing algorithms for block-level version tracking, and typesetting engines for LaTeX/Mermaid. Native UI bindings for Swift/SwiftUI and Kotlin/Jetpack Compose are needed to ensure true native feel and offline performance. Deep expertise in document typography, EPUB packaging standards, and native OS file systems is required.
