@gabesalkin Thanks mate - hope it's useful!
@r You're not the first person to say that! I guess I have old eyes? 😂
Just added a setting to change the default base font size for the editor. Will ship with 1.0.1 today or tomorrow.
Thanks to @swithinbank for mega-helpful early feedback 🙏

Astro Editor: A Clean macOS Markdown Editor for Astro Content Collections
AI slop is filling the internet. I want more humans writing on their own websites.
So I made Astro Editor — a free macOS app for writing markdown & MDX in Astro content collections. 🎉
Code editors are terrible for prose. iA Writer is great for prose but can't handle frontmatter, MDX, or component insertion.
Astro Editor is basically iA Writer for @astro content collections.
