Show HN: Allein - Markdown editor with AI autocompletion, completely offline

Hi everyone! I built Allein, a Markdown editor powered by Ollama — use your own LLMs locally for AI-assisted writing, completely private, no account required, and works offline.

What it does:

- Context-aware autocompletion (think GitHub Copilot for Markdown)

- Writing improvements (spelling, grammar, readability)

- Flexible model selection—swap between different LLMs based on your needs and your device's capabilities

- Full-featured Markdown editor with live preview

Why I built it: I wanted GitHub Copilot-like autocompletion in a lightweight text editor—something between Apple Notes' basic suggestions and a full IDE. As a non-native English speaker, I also wanted built-in writing improvement tools to help me improve my English.

Tech: Built with Tauri, React, Rust, and Ollama for local LLM inference. Ollama is incredibly powerful, and this felt like a perfect use-case for it.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Feedback on the concept and any features you'd like to see are very welcome!
