Could you build this?
Yes A Markdown editor with a rich HTML preview, keyboard shortcuts, and local file storage is well-trodden ground, and wrapping Claude or Codex via their APIs or CLIs is straightforward. Achieving a polished native Mac feel takes effort, but a working version is feasible in weeks with AI-assisted coding.
