Runnable Markdown notes for developers and DevOps. Run a code block in place and its output streams in beneath it. Free and open source, for Mac, Linux, Windows, iPhone, and Android.
Ledge is a Markdown notebook that runs shell commands, code, SQL, etc from inside your own notes.
I built Ledge because I spend much of my day copy/pasting commands from my notes into the terminal. I was inspired by how much cmux helped me organize my terminals - but there was still a split brain between my notes and frequently run commands. I've been daily-driving it for the past few weeks and use it for deploys, API calls, smoke tests, etc.
Ledge runs your real shell just like a terminal app and can be hosted locally or remotely over SSH using ledge-server. I've been building it since July and have recently added support for all the major platforms: Mac (Silicon), Windows (WSL required), Linux, iOS, Android. Mobile devices require SSH access to a ledge-server and Android is still in beta and looking for beta testers (see link on website)!
It's built on Bun and Electrobun and is free and open-source. Feel free to review the code and contribute at https://github.com/ledgesh/ledge
Feedback is very much welcome. Any must-have features that are missing?

I wish Notion could just integrate these things together and make it work, or someone build an Obsidian plugin. More often than not it would be so convenient to do something like this.
