Following @n457_media on Twitter is the best way to keep you updated on my projects, including (Un)colored !
Next generation desktop rich content editor that saves documents with themes.
HTML & Markdown compatible. For Windows, OS X & Linux.
version 0.10.2 — Beta ~ (Next release: version 1.0, ongoing development)
- (Un)colored is an editor that allows the user to focus on the text & content types (titles, lists, etc.), then selects the document saving format.
- If the selected format is HTML, the user can choose an export document theme which defines the appearance of the saved document, that can be viewed directly in a web browser.
- If the selected format is Markdown, the document is saved as raw Markdown file, without theme.
- A saved HTML / Markdown document can be re-imported in the editor and re-exported, with theme or not, endlessly.
Supported Platforms
(Un)colored is provided for 64-bit systems only, on OS X 10.9 and later, Windows 7 and later, Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 and later, Debian 8 and later).

:nut_and_bolt: Technical Details

- ES6 : Object Oriented & more beautiful than classic JavaScript.
