Yesterday Anthropic unexpectedly released a new version of their most powerful model, Opus 4.8. I haven't tested it in detail yet, and I'm interested in your opinion, what do you think about it?

📝 Texodus v1 is out — and this one is a big quality-of-life jump 🚀

Just a reminder that this is a free, cross-platform, open-source Markdown document editor that was born out of one of my AI model tests.

✨ I ripped out the plain textarea and dropped in CodeMirror 6. What you get:
1) Live markdown syntax highlighting as you type
2) Smart list continuation — Enter inside a list keeps the bullets and numbers going. Empty line? It bails you out.
3) Auto-closing brackets, quotes, and ** markers
4) Multi-cursor with Alt+Click

📜 Scroll sync between editor and preview no longer lies to you on long docs with images and diagrams — the same line stays at the top of both panes, no drift.

🐛 Also fixed: that annoying macOS bug where double-clicking a .md from Finder opened two windows. Just one now. As intended. ✅

⚡ Under the hood: ~660 lines of code-quality refactoring, a tighter Rust window-management layer, and the whole frontend is now TypeScript end-to-end.

🔗 Download v1 on the releases page (available for macOS, Linux, and Windows):
github.com/w512/Texodus/releases/tag/v1.0.1

As always — feedback, bug reports, and feature requests very welcome.

🚀 Remember the Markdown editor that Gemma 4 wrote in my previous video comparing it with Qwen 3.6?

I've refined it to the point where I actually use it every day myself — and now I'm sharing it with everyone. Meet Texodus 📝

It's a free, cross-platform, open source Markdown document editor. Built with Tauri + Vue + Rust, runs on macOS, Windows and Linux. Almost all the code was written by Gemma 4 — I only stepped in where it was faster to fix things by hand.

For now the main focus is on viewing documents, with basic editing — but more is on the way. Download it, use it, fork it, improve it 🛠️
