Over the past two weeks or so, the Velotype project has landed 59 commits, closed 28 issues, picked up 300+ stars 
, and welcomed 2 awesome new contributors 
. Honestly, all of this is way beyond what I expected at this stage!
Here's a quick rundown of what's changed over that time:
-
Added rendering support for Mermaid diagrams and LaTeX, with ongoing fixes and improvements in subsequent iterations
-
Introduced Dark/Light theme support (dark by default), a preferences page, and customizable keybindings
-
Expanded Markdown syntax support and reworked some of the underlying rendering logic
v0.5.0 also brings outline parsing — Velotype now parses and renders headings (Hx) from your .md files into a document outline. On top of that, Workspace mode has landed in its initial form 
: the Workspace panel displays the file tree rooted at the directory of your currently open .md file, and clicking any other .md file swaps it into the editor instantly. It's a small touch, but it makes the whole editing experience feel a lot more cohesive. More features are on the way 
.
The project lives at GitHub - manyougz/velotype: Write at the speed of thought – Velotype is a high-performance native Markdown editor built with Rust and GPUI.⚡ · GitHub — if you find it useful, a star would mean a lot! Contributions are always welcome too 
.
Heads up! Velotype is still in early development. There are likely rough edges and missing features — more fixes and improvements are coming.
