Partial A Markdown editor with preview, outline, and export is vibe-codeable, but shipping a polished native editor across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro, and Android is much harder than a web app.
What it would actually take: A web-based or Electron/cross-platform version can be built with a Markdown parser, CodeMirror or Monaco, and Mermaid and KaTeX for rendering. A native multi-platform release needs Swift/SwiftUI and Kotlin expertise, text-editing performance tuning, and platform-specific file-system and sync handling. Polishing text-editing behavior on each platform is the real effort.
