Feature: Split Markdown view in editor.

[nfisher]

Hello,

Leaps looks awesome. Have you given thought to having a markdown preview option something similar in the editor to the following:

+------+----------------+----------+
|      |                |          |
| File | Input          | Comments |
| List |                |          |
|      |                |          |
|      +----------------+          |
|      |                |          |
|      |                |          |
|      | Preview        |          |
|      |                |          |
+------+----------------+----------+

I suppose it could be more generalised to being a command output pane but markdown preview would be nice as a first kick of the tires. :)

Kind Regards,
Nathan

Hey @nfisher, I've wanted to add this in for a while but my front-end skills are my most lacking. To be honest the entire UI could do with some TLC from a more qualified dev/designer.

@Jeffail you could rewrite the GUI in GIOUI.

Golang code on both side lowers the work and maintenance.
And opens up lots of new functionality possibilities.

The current text editor is pretty capable. cut and paste and tabs work also.
Demo:https://gioui.org//files/wasm/kitchen/index.html
Code: https://github.com/gioui/gio-example/blob/main/kitchen

You get complete control over the Ops of the Text Editor. See here: https://github.com/gioui/gio-example/blob/main/kitchen/kitchen.go#L237
This is because every key stroke by the user can be acted on in the control loop.

The websockets lib you use would need to be changed to https://pkg.go.dev/nhooyr.io/websocket
Here is a good example: https://git.sr.ht/~whereswaldon/pointstar

there is a gio chat that works currently too.
https://git.sr.ht/~gioverse/chat

run https://github.com/gioverse/chat/tree/main/example/kitchen to see it in action.
