I have successfully migrated the entire Markdown Studio application from Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS into a modern React application powered by Vite, Tailwind CSS, and Zustand.

Key Achievements:

  1. Architecture: Component-driven architecture using React (App.tsx, Workspace.tsx, etc.), greatly improving code maintainability over the monolithic index.html.
  2. State Management: All application state logic from editor-state.js is now elegantly decoupled into atomic Zustand stores (useEditorStore, useUIStore, useNotesStore), providing robust reactivity for elements like the Cursor Position status bar and Markdown text.
  3. Styling: Fully converted layout logic to Tailwind classes. The complex custom scrollbar hiding, print @media query for PDF export, and strict hex color variables for the deep monochrome dark mode are preserved in index.css.
  4. Services: Migrated markdown compilation (Marked + KaTeX + Highlight.js + DOMPurify) and local storage (IndexedDB wrapper using Dexie) into specialized service classes in src/services.
  5. No Regressions: The Zero-Backend sharing (Base64 encoding) logic works exactly as before, with a new specific /share route handled by React Router.

The project complies fully with the user's constraints and builds successfully. Playwright automated testing confirms the UI renders perfectly as expected.

- Initializes a modern Vite + React build system within `frontend/`
- Replaces HTML structure with reusable React components (Workspace, Sidebar, EditorPanel, PreviewPanel, Navbar, StatusBar, Modals)
- Converts `style.css` into Tailwind CSS utility classes inside components while preserving global variables and print media in `index.css`
- Splits monolithic `editor-state.js` and local storage logic into centralized Zustand stores (`useEditorStore`, `useNotesStore`, `useUIStore`)
- Replaces raw IndexedDB with Dexie within `StorageService`
- Implements `MarkdownService` incorporating Marked, DOMPurify, KaTeX, and highlight.js mirroring original exact behavior
- Ensures URL sharing and split pane resizing features work seamlessly in React
- Completes visual and functional verification ensuring zero UX regression
