Fextify

A simple text editor written in Tauri, inspired by Obsidian.

This is a prototype, not a fully polished version.

How to run?

Windows

Run the fextify.exe included in the releases section.

GNU/Linux

Debian and/or Ubuntu

Install the .deb version of the package from the releases section.

AppImage and raw linux

For any other GNU/Linux distribution you can use the .AppImage or run the raw linux version from the the releases section/.

Note: You might need to make them executable by running chmod +x fextify.AppImage or chmod +x fextify-linux.

Manual compilation

For manual compilation run npm run tauri build -- --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc on Windows, or npm run tauri build on GNU/Linux.

NOTE: if you run into any compilation error you can always debug the error with pnpm run tauri build --verbose.

On first startup

1. Run the fextify.exe included in this folder. (or run npm run tauri build -- --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc to compile)
2. Press CTRL + P to open the command pallet. It will give you a good idea of what's going on. Otherwise, explore!

Themes

Premade

You can press CTRL + ALT + S to open the Theme Selector.

Creating

You can duplicate the src/themes/default.css and modify its colors. We recommend you import the theme automatically on restart by adding <link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/my_theme.css" /> in src/index.html and use npm run tauri dev to have the application reset on save.

Publishing

You can open a pull request to add your theme in /src/themes. We will add it if it's good.

Alternatively, you can join our Discord server and post it on the fextify-themes forum!

Known bugs

1. Changing the title of any file to a duplicate causes a panic & config.json to mess up. For the time being, avoid naming files the same. In case this happens, nuke config.json by emptying all arrays & restart the software.
