Cache 0.9 is live! I’m feeling really happy with where it is right now.

​This release brings fast word jumping (Cmd/Ctrl+G), robust CJK text support, emoji rendering fixes and a load of onboarding polish.

Added experimental Vim/Helix modal editing to my notes app. It's basic but already handy, here's `goto_word` jumping to a word on Android. Curious if anyone else would use this?

Your notes shouldn't live on someone else's server. I've been working on something to fix that and it's very nearly ready!

Most note apps sync through someone else's server. Mine syncs through Git. Your repo, your control, your history. No backend, no lock-in. Works on mobile too!

Built for everywhere: Mac, Linux, Windows, Android, iOS. Added scrubbing gestures for quick navigation on small screens. Plus a compact mode for tiny devices like the Unihertz Titan and Clicks Communicator!

I kept losing things in my own notes, search would show me one result per file and it was never the right one. So I fixed it -every line indexed, every match shown, instant and entirely offline! Feels pretty magical! ✨ Coming very soon.
