A fast, local-first markdown editor designed explicitly for creating and managing live performance setlists. No cloud sync delays, just pure text manipulation.
The Concept
When you are about to step on stage, the last thing you want to deal with is a slow syncing app or complex UI. Setlists MD uses Markdown as a universal, lightweight standard to quickly structure songs, keys, and performance notes.
"A tool that gets out of the way so the musician can focus on the performance."
The Architecture
This is a masterclass in local-first architecture. By leaning heavily into modern browser storage APIs and a lightweight React/Vite stack, the application boots instantly and works flawlessly without an internet connection.
The Outcome
A battle-tested utility used by actual touring musicians. The recent rebranding to the Lydian design system cemented its identity as a professional-grade tool rather than just a weekend experiment.
