Release detail

Preview build 0.1.0

First preview release of Soup for Windows, with both EXE and MSI installers.

Overview

Soup is a minimal local-first desktop editor and note workspace designed for technical users who want a quieter toolchain.

Highlights

  • Local-first workspace model with folder-based state.
  • Dark-first interface with minimal chrome.

Product direction

  • Soup is local first. Your files and folders are the source of truth.
