**Scratchmark** is a pleasant Markdown editor for writing. It tries to give you everything you need and otherwise stay out of your way so you can just focus on the text. The app can be used for writing essays and making quick notes alike. Its file management is built around a folder structure that can handle large projects with lots of files. You can add any folder on your computer to the library, and move files around by dragging and dropping.
Scratchmark is intended to become a spiritual successor to ThiefMD.

Scratchmark is written in Rust and uses GTK4 and Libadwaita for UI.
Scratchmark is licensed GPL-3.0-or-later. Some parts may additionally be available under other licenses, such as MIT.
The project is transitioning to Meson build system, but it remains possible to build and run it with Cargo.
When running from the repository, there's an additional step to the usual cargo run command. You need to set an env var to tell the app where to find it:
export GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=$PWD/dataThe app needs its settings schema, and the lookup path seemingly can't be set in the code itself.
Pull requests are gatekept by this workflow. It will check if the code
- builds (you don't say)
- passes unit tests (run
cargo test) - has linter warnings (run
cargo clippy) - is formatted (run
cargo fmt)
