Hanji is a lightweight, local-first Markdown editor built in Rust. It uses local Markdown files as the source of truth and presents them through a source-backed WYSIWYG view.
The editor is designed for simple writing: open a Markdown file, edit it directly, and keep the saved document readable outside Hanji.
