I got tired of heavyweight Markdown editors, so I built one in Rust + Tauri that doesn't ship a browser

TL;DR: I wanted a Markdown editor that just opens instantly and gets out of the way. Nothing quite fit, so I built Bokuchi with Tauri v2 + Rust + React. Instead of bundling a whole Chromium instance, it renders through the OS's native WebView — so it's light enough to leave open all day and opens before you finish reaching for your coffee. It's open source: github.com/Bokuchi-Editor/bokuchi

The itch

Here's a situation you probably know too well.

You want to jot down a quick note. Maybe a release checklist, maybe a snippet of Markdown for a PR description. So you open your editor of choice — and your laptop fan spins up like it's about to take off. A "note-taking" app just claimed a serious chunk of your RAM before you typed a single character.

I love VS Code. I've used Atom (RIP). I respect Obsidian. But for the specific job of "open a window, write some Markdown, close it", they all felt like renting a moving truck to carry a sandwich.
