It's built using _Python_ + a great _TUI (Terminal User Interface)_ called _Textual_. More info at [textualize.io](https://textualize.io).\n\nIt's the tool I use to write my blog posts and other markdown files. I built my blog using [VuePress 2](https://v2.vuepress.vuejs.org) + [Hope](https://theme-hope.vuejs.press) theme. You can visit me at https://misapuntesde.com\n\n## Features\n\n-   [x] Frontmatter/Markdown support.\n-   [x] Dark/Light theme (because I think some people prefer brightness 🤷‍♂️).\n-   [x] Markdown zen mode \u0026 improvements on typewriting.\n-   [x] Auto-draft mode: Open with the latest options if you quit without saving the information previously.\n-   [x] Local AI to suggest tags using Ollama. 🤯\n\n## TODO\n\n-   [x] Add a footer.\n-   [x] Save to a file.\n-   [x] Markdown cheat sheet on the sidebar.\n-   [x] Move categories and other constants to an environment or text file.\n-   [ ] If you have multi-language support on your site, create multiple markdown files.\n-   [ ] Accept parameters from the command line.\n-   [ ] Package it as a standalone app.\n\n## Power UP! 🚀\n\nCould an **application work as a server, from Terminal (TUI) AND with a _GUI_ on _macOS, Windows \u0026 Linux_, all at the same time?** It sounds crazy!! Let's do it!\n\n-   [ ] GUI App. 🚀\n-   [ ] Website App running as a web server.\n\n## How to use\n\nI chose the _TOML_ format for the settings, so please rename the file `settings.toml.example` and update the settings in your file.\n\nChange the constants in the `main.py` and `categories.txt` files to match your needs. Then, run the following commands:\n\n### Using uv (recommended)\n\n[uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) is a fast Python package installer and resolver.\n\n```bash\n# Install uv if you don't have it\ncurl -sSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh\n\n# Create a virtual environment (honors .python-version, e.g., 3.12)\nuv venv\n# Optional (only if Python 3.12 is not installed yet)\n# uv python install 3.12\n\n# Activate the environment (macOS/Linux)\nsource .venv/bin/activate\n\n# Sync dependencies from pyproject.toml and install the project (editable)\nuv sync\n\n# For development (installs the 'dev' extra defined in [project.optional-dependencies])\nuv sync --dev\n\n# Run the application\nuv run python -m frodown.main\n```\n\n### Using traditional tools\n\n```bash\npython -m venv venv\nsource venv/bin/activate\npip install -e .\npython -m frodown.main\n```\n\nClicking on **[Save]** will save it to the same directory with the title 'slugged' and the extension '.md'.\n\nIf you want to use the AI to suggest tags, install [Ollama](https://github.com/ollama/ollama) and run the following command:\n\n```bash\nollama run gemma2:2b\n```\n\n## Testing\n\nThe project includes comprehensive unit tests using pytest.
