What it is
A minimal Markdown editor built with Electron. The whole app is a single page floating in a dark, starry background, with UI chrome stripped down to almost nothing. Source is on GitHub.
Why minimalism
Most writing tools compete for your attention with the very thing you came to do: write. Toolbars, sidebars, notifications, formatting menus — each one is a small invitation to stop thinking and start fiddling. VoidPage takes the opposite bet: one page, one cursor, and the dark. The void around the page isn’t decoration — a space with nothing to click means there is nothing to do but write.
Features
- New file, Open, Save, and Save As… via the usual ⌘/Ctrl shortcuts
- Unsaved-changes prompt before opening, creating, or closing
- Markdown (
.md,.markdown) and plain text (.txt)
The making of
A small Electron app
The structure is deliberately flat: a main process handling file dialogs, a preload script exposing a safe bridge to the renderer, and a single HTML page with its stylesheet and keyboard handling. No build framework, no UI library — just the platform.
Shipping it
electron-builder produces signed, notarized macOS .app, DMG, and ZIP artifacts for both
arm64 and x64. Releases are built and notarized automatically by GitHub Actions on every
