About
Hyde is an open-source markdown editor, which utilizes the Electron framework to create a comfortable, cross-platform experience for every type of user.
Modularity is at the core of Hyde's interface design, allowing you to cater the UI to what you need. Whether you are a power-user that prefers keyboard shortcuts and a minimalistic interface, a visually-oriented user that prefers the accesibilty of toolbars and menus, or maybe somewhere in between, Hyde is capable of providing you with exactly what you need.
Install
Though there isn't an installer yet, using Hyde is simple. To use Hyde on any platform, you must first install npm and download Hyde from the project repo. Then simply run the following command from within the project directory:
# Clone the repository
$ git clone https://github.com/tterb/hyde
# Navigate to the directory
$ cd hyde
# Install Hyde
$ npm install -g ./
Now, Hyde can easily be launched from anywhere using the following command:
$ hyde <filename>
Usage
Command-line Interface
Hyde also features a convenient CLI, with support for a handful of helpful features.
$ hyde [options] <filename>
Note: If you'd like to utilize the compiled application, until a published release is available, you must build the app yourself. This can be done using the following command:
$ gulp build
