and here it is, my new software for #Windows. I wrote it for myself but I thought, maybe it would be useful for someone else.
Meet #PlanCake, software to read Markdown and annotate it in place.
Do you have a long Markdown document, like a plan, a piece of documentation or your personal notes? Open it in PlanCake as a normal document. If you use a screen reader, you can navigate by headings, lists, tables and links, as usual.
Since PlanCake renders GitHub flavored Markdown, you can check and uncheck tasks in task lists straight away.
click or press Enter on a block of text (including list items and table cells), and you can add quick notes (also supporting Markdown!). Notes are saved in the file itself, with markers you set in settings. By default markers are set to [usernote] and [/usernote]. Want rather a single marker for user notes that go to the end of line? Set the opening marker to something like !USERNOTE! and leave the closing marker empty.
You can also add, edit and delete notes by using context menus.
By default, all of your notes are also shown in a list (F6 for keyboard users, right pane of the window for sighted users).
You can use command line, you can paste files from clipboard (or drag them into the window), you can open files by link, export them to HTML, export your notes to JSON if needed.
It’s super convenient to annotate plans for AI assistants (hence the name), but it’s absolutely not restricted to this task. Writing a book in Markdown and want to add quick notes for yourself? Are you a book editor working for an author? Add comments in PlanCake!
Works flawlessly with Debussy, my set of #ClaudeCode skills: github.com/Oire/debussy.
