💡 What is MarkText Plus?

MarkText Plus is a modern Markdown editor reimagined from the original MarkText, rebuilt with Flutter for true cross-platform support. It solves the pain points of traditional Markdown editors:

• ❌ Heavy and slow startup times → ✅ Lightning-fast with self-built parser
• ❌ Limited theme options → ✅ 8 beautiful themes (light & dark)
• ❌ Poor cross-platform experience → ✅ Native performance on Windows, macOS, Linux
• ❌ Complex setup → ✅ 3 commands to get started

🚀 Quick Start

Get up and running in less than 30 seconds:

git clone https://github.com/SugarFatFree/marktext-plus.git
cd marktext-plus/code
flutter pub get && flutter run

That's it! The editor will launch with a sample document ready to edit.
