Language
designed for text

Lightweight syntax highlighting keeps your writing structured and easy to scan. Pair it with heading-level folding to navigate long documents with ease. It all runs on a built-in language purpose-built for text.

# Evening Notes

## Desk Routine

The room grows quieter after midnight, especially once the rain starts against the window and the sound of traffic fades into the background. Revisiting old notes at this hour often reveals details that felt insignificant during the day but suddenly seem worth preserving.

1. Finish the draft.
2. Organize scattered notes.
3. Back up everything before sleep.

-# Reminder: unfinished thoughts are easier to lose than files.
