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.
