FrankMDFast 0.1.2

@github-actions github-actions released this 10 Nov 01:34

FrankMDFast 0.1.2 makes ⌘ shortcuts work across the app on macOS.

Fixed

  • macOS: every shortcut now answers to ⌘ as well as Ctrl — ⌘P, ⌘S, ⌘B, ⌘⇧P, ⌘W, … — contributed
    by @Okaada (#5). Ctrl keeps working everywhere and Linux/Windows behavior is unchanged.
  • macOS: the media and grammar dialogs accept ⌘↵ and ⌘1–⌘7; the delete-confirmation dialog accepts
    ⌘↵ and the explorer's select-all accepts ⌘A.
  • Shortcut labels (command palette, help, status-bar chip, empty-state hints, dialog buttons) now
    derive from one table and print ⌘⇧P style on macOS; the note switcher shows ⌃Tab because ⌘Tab
    belongs to the macOS app switcher.
  • The macOS app menu's key equivalents show ⌘ (for example ⌘Q) instead of ⌃.

@github-actions github-actions released this 06 Nov 00:06

FrankMDFast 0.1.1 fixes note and folder creation on Windows and the basic macOS window
behavior reported against 0.1.0.

Fixed

  • Windows: creating notes and folders works again (#1). Vault operations joined paths with /
    onto the canonicalized notes root, which Windows reports as a verbatim \\?\ path; verbatim
    paths reject /, so every create, open, save, rename and delete failed with the generic
    "Failed to create". Paths are joined with \ there now, and the Windows CI job runs the note
    and folder flow on a real filesystem so it cannot return silently.
  • Windows and Linux with client-side decorations: the window has a title bar with close,
    minimize and maximize buttons and a drag area, instead of no controls at all.
  • macOS: the sidebar header no longer sits underneath the traffic-light buttons (#2).
  • macOS: clicking the Dock, Launchpad or Finder icon after closing the window with the red
    button reopens the window instead of doing nothing while the process keeps running (#3).
  • macOS: ⌘Q quits the app, through a proper app menu; the shortcut help that showed ⌘Q now
    matches the key that actually works (#4).

@github-actions github-actions released this 05 Nov 04:39

First release of FrankMDFast, FrankMD as a native desktop app, rewritten in Rust with GPUI.

It is a drop-in replacement for the Rails FrankMD: it reads the same .fed file and environment
variables and works on the same folder of notes, so you can switch between the two.

Highlights

  • Markdown editor with live preview, math, syntax highlighting, tables, tasks and wikilinks
  • Vim mode, typewriter mode, find and replace, command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and quick open (Ctrl+P)
  • Hugo blog posts, image and video embedding (local folder or S3), YouTube and image search
  • AI grammar check and image generation with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter or Ollama
  • Follows the Omarchy theme and language live; 18 built-in themes
  • Settings for every option, including interface size (80–200%)

Security changes compared with FrankMD

  • Uploads must really be images or videos (content is checked, not just the extension)
  • URLs with user:password@ are refused
  • The AI grammar check never sends .fed or secrets
  • Search, backlinks and media scans never follow links out of the notes folder

The Windows build is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen will ask before the first run.

Known gaps

Relative line numbers, right-to-left layout for Hebrew, settings "Test connection" buttons and a
keyring for secrets are not done yet. On Windows a second launch opens a new window instead of
reusing the running app.
