Astro Editor

Astro Editor is a markdown authoring tool that integrates directly with Astro content collections by interpreting Zod schemas to generate smart front‑matter forms. It replaces raw YAML with context‑aware fields, validates data against the defined schema, and offers image handling with hover previews, cross‑collection reference support, and MDX component insertion for Astro, React, Vue, or Svelte components.

The interface is geared toward writers rather than developers, providing a distraction‑free editor with focus mode, copy‑edit highlighting, and a dark theme inspired by iA Writer. It includes features such as auto‑save, crash recovery, a command palette, and navigation of deep folder hierarchies, while keeping the markdown content clean of technical clutter.

Designed for macOS, Windows, and Linux, Astro Editor can be installed via native installers or Homebrew. It targets Astro developers who need a dedicated writing environment for content collections, separating the content creation workflow from code‑centric IDEs.
