Gram Release 3.0.0

Gram Editor has released version 3.0.0, a major update introducing a complete visual redesign, a new plugin system, improved performance, and enhanced markdown editing capabilities for developers and writers.

Background

- Gram is a macOS-native plain-text editor designed for writers, programmers, and note-takers, launched in 2023. It focuses on speed, Markdown support, and a lightweight interface. - Version 3.0.0 is a major release, likely adding significant new features or architectural changes. This update is relevant because Gram competes with other minimal Markdown editors like iA Writer, Typora, or Bear, and a major version bump signals it's maturing as a product. - The reader should know that "Markdown" is a simple formatting syntax (using symbols like `#` for headings, `*` for italics) widely used in tech writing. A native Mac editor optimized for it fills a specific niche for users who want a distraction-free writing environment without switching to a full IDE or word processor. - Key context: Gram is built by a small indie developer, so each release reflects focused, user-driven evolution rather than corporate feature bloat.
