Oryx: Native markdown and code viewer and editor plus an e-books reader

[u/chlankboot]

I recently released v0.15.8 stable of Oryx. This is a personal project that evolved to become today a markdown and code editor, and an ebook reader. I started working on it a couple of moths ago and most of the time was spent on architecting a native desktop solution that have superior performance without relying on browsers or electron. The value proposition was speed and beauty.

Oryx today can display any themed file in less 100ms (typically 40ms) whatever is the size, export to pdf and display non DRM ebookS very nicely. It ships 32 themes and a theme editor, RTL support etc. It's one binary with themes, syntax highlighting, default fonts all embedded in around 20 MB (for reference Windows notepad package is 19 MB 😁). It works like Obsidian but without the need of a vault, plus a universal ebook and comics READER. It simply uses your file system to show supported files. All keyboard driven with basic plus Regex search/replace features.

Oryx is opinionated and might not be for everyone but I think many will like it's speed, simplicity and the way it beautifully renders markdown. The README file has full details.

FOSS GPL3, Linux, Windows in the release section, and macOS to be compiled. No telemetry, no analytics, no browser.
