- UI fixes around theming, inline editing, link previews, and sidebar behavior
- a new startup screen (seen below)
- deeper integration with macOS: Spotlight indexing, Siri integration, mdnb:// url scheme & Applescript support

mdnb is moving so fast that changes can be hard to follow

Here's the changelog from the past week:

- built-in Git sync with GitHub sign-in
- added an integrated terminal
- improved folder navigation and editor formatting tools
- major performance gains for startup and large note libraries

mdnb.app now has themes, Ghostty terminal built in & an optional formatting bar

I wrote some thoughts on memory in coding agents, a surprisingly neglected area for LLM memory?

(Zero AI was used to write the thoughts)

😉

It's been a lot of fun building on automerge from @inkandswitch.com

mdnb — A Markdown Notebook for macOS A native macOS notebook app. Your notes are plain Markdown files on disk, yours forever. Free.

While this part isn't live yet you can try the rest

Real time collaboration prototype for mdnb

I did a whole new site for the umbrella, sidequery.dev

mdnb.app & pynb.app got new icons 💅

I even did nested XML rendering

Here's Claude's guts

It's free for personal use & always will be 🫡

Now with graph view!

I built a free, 100% native (for macOS) markdown editor. You can download it here

When Software Engineers Don't Look at the Software

I've been using Claude Code since May & use Codex actively. Here's some of my thoughts on software engineering with AI

At the same time!

Lets you do multiple things in a git repo in isolation without actually cloning multiple copies

You should do it!

ghostree — Worktree-Aware Terminal for Ghostty Worktree-aware terminal management for Ghostty. Switch branches, manage worktrees, and keep your terminal sessions organized.

I forked everyone's favorite terminal, Ghostty, and added git worktree support so to better manage parallel AI agents

pynb was featured by tldr today!

Ghostty is now natively integrated into pynb.app

Can you tell me what can be improved with their version management? (I'm building a free alternative that runs on macOS)

What else are their charts missing for you? (I'm building a free desktop alternative for macOS)

Might have snuck in experimental canvas mode too. All from your .py file with # %% cell delimiters

With credentials securely stored in macOS Keychain, of course 🔒

Another day, another release. pynb.app just got native connectivity for Postgres, Snowflake, Bigquery, SQLite & Flight SQL via ADBC (so it's fast and memory efficient)

Toying with canvas mode since I am tracking dependencies for reactivity 😎

Ha thanks! Yeah custom charting is still to come but I wanted to show a baseline jupyter equivalent experience!
