Show HN: Tufte Editor – Local Markdown Editor with Tufte CSS Live Preview
avngr86 Sunday, February 15, 2026
A split-pane Markdown editor that renders live preview with Tufte CSS. Sidenotes, margin notes, epigraphs, full-width figures, and BibTeX citations with autocomplete — all in standard Markdown extensions.
Documents are .md files on disk. Images are regular files. Exports to standalone HTML with Tufte CSS baked in — my use case is writing essays and uploading them directly to my personal site.
Zero dependencies, no npm install, no accounts, no build step. Just `node server.js`. ~7 files total.
Full disclosure in the README: I'm a researcher, not a JS developer, and the code was AI-generated. Contributions and code review welcome.
Summary
Tuftee Editor is an open-source, lightweight, and customizable text editor designed for developers. It offers features such as syntax highlighting, code folding, and a built-in terminal, aiming to provide a streamlined and efficient coding experience.
