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
(Un)colored is made to be fast & fully compatible with WebKit web browser engine and V8 JavaScript engine (those implemented in Google Chrome). So the application is entirely written without any compatibility fallback code and allows using latest web technologies.
ES6 : Object Oriented & more beautiful than classic JavaScript.
[Major issue] GitHub Flavored Markdown documents import/export not fully supported (and missing tools for it).
[Major issue] When entering a local image relative path in the Image via URL tool field, the image in the exported document is not visible in-browser.
