You've basically described Ferrite's design goals! Let me check the boxes:

Single binary — ~15MB, point it at a directory with ferrite ./notes/ or open workspace via UI

Fast launch, low latency — Native Rust/egui, instant startup, no Electron

Cross platform — Windows/Linux/macOS

Tables & code blocks — GFM tables, syntax-highlighted code blocks (40+ languages)

WYSIWYG — This is where it gets nuanced. Ferrite has three modes:

- Rendered mode — Click-to-edit rendered Markdown (closest to WYSIWYG)

- Split view — Raw editor + live preview side-by-side

- Raw mode — Plain text editing

It's not pure "type and it formats inline" like Typora or Confluence. The Rendered mode lets you click elements to edit them, but it's not seamless WYSIWYG yet.

If you're looking for true inline WYSIWYG, Typora is probably closest. But if split view + rendered mode works for you, give Ferrite a try — it hits the other criteria well.
