# Vision: a structured Markdown editor

> Zorid's root vision for a modern, extensible, structured Markdown editor that treats typed fields and embedded database views as first-class concepts.

## Project goal

An open-source, modern, cross-platform Markdown editor with **first-class support for structured data**:

* Fields on notes (frontmatter).
* Views — kanban, calendar, table, timeline — with group, sort, and filter.
* Near-feature-parity with Obsidian for core Markdown editing.

## Architecture requirements

* Very modular design for parallel development.
* Lazy load everything possible (inspired by `lazy.nvim`).
* Every behavior should be attachable and extensible via plugins.
* Everything modular and togglable, except very-core kernel pieces.
* Performance is critical.
* SQLite indexing under `.zorid/` in the user's vault.
* Desktop = Electron. Mobile = Capacitor with custom mobile UI.

## P0 features

* Automatic backup, timeline history
* All Obsidian-like Markdown editing features (backlinks, embeds, wikilinks)
* Tabs
* Fields + SQLite indexing
* Command palette
* Search
* Status bar

## P1 features

* Well-integrated sync (Google Drive, S3-compatible, newest-wins)
* Image viewer
* Markdown display customization (line spacing, fonts)
* Tags
* File watcher with automatic index updates
* Calendar (two-way sync, CalDAV)

## P2 features

* Excalidraw, Canvas
* PDF view & annotation
* Notion-style views
* Hotkeys for everything (configurable)
