System-preference aware. Works flawlessly on all supported browsers with proper color inversion and contrast ratios.

🛠️ Troubleshooting & Recommendations
My browser isn't rendering styles correctly. What should I do?
First, ensure your browser is updated to the latest version. If issues persist, try disabling browser extensions that modify page CSS (like ad blockers or dark mode force-enforcers). Clear your cache and reload. If the problem continues, report it to our support team with your browser console logs.
Why does the rich text editor lag on my device?
The editor uses advanced DOM manipulation and real-time Markdown parsing. For the best experience, we recommend using Chrome, Firefox, or Edge with at least 4GB of RAM available. Disable hardware acceleration in your browser settings if you experience GPU-related stuttering.
Do you support older versions of macOS or Windows?
Yes, but you must run a supported browser version on those OS versions. Older OS versions may lack security updates or modern rendering engines, which can cause unexpected behavior. We recommend upgrading your OS when possible for full compatibility.
How can I check if my browser is compatible?
Visit CanIUse.com or check your browser's "About" section for the current version number. Compare it against the table above. If you're on a version lower than the minimum, updating will resolve 95% of compatibility issues.
