🏗️ PHILOSOPHY

Astro Editor is purpose-built for "writer mode" - the focused work of authoring and editing prose in Markdown. It intentionally excludes features like git integration, deployment, or
code editing, leaving those to proper code editors. Think of it as the tool you use when you're writing, not when you're coding.

Inspired by iA Writer and designed to provide a clean, minimal writing environment specifically for Astro content collections.
