A screenshot would be a nice addition to the readme.

It seems is only pure text (no support for image extensions of a terminal, just a link to the image), based on this: https://github.com/taf2/mdvi/blob/master/src/renderer.rs

It looks nice and clean code.

Thanks i added a screenshot and in 0.2 you can see images now in the cli too

The screenshot you added uses a transparent terminal where you can see your Discord chat in the background. You might want to remove that ;-)

Why would someone use a transparent window background? Are people really reading the window behind it at the same time as the foreground window?

Example: If a build is going on in the background, I can see when it stops.

pretty fun right :)

Here's the one I use a lot ... And the underlying `glamour` library is great for programmatic markdown display: https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow.

Glow is pretty great and has been around for a while:

Markdown reader using find, fzf and lnav

  find . \( -path '*/vendor/*' -or -path '*/.git/*' -or -path '*/node_modules/*' \) -prune -or -type f -name "*.md" -print | fzf | xargs lnav

I created one I like: https://github.com/llimllib/mdriver

it can echo images with kitty image protocol, and streams the output, which I use to show LLM output as it arrives

It doesn't handle paging - you can pipe it to `less` or whatever pager for that

It's funny because the whole idea of Markdown is that it is readable both as text and rendered, so it shouldn't require a terminal renderer.

3 source files, nice code, no vibe-coding slob, nice little project... That's rare these days

Markdown is already readable as-is. How is this any different from running "more my_file.md" ?

Stop trying to re-invent the wheel when the tools are already there.

Isn’t vi good enough?

NeoVim w/ render-markdown.nvim

(not to poo on OP - I dig a clean TUI renderer, I have BAT installed for a reason)

Bat is nice. Oh dang now i have to try this plugin. I remember trying a couple of similar ones that got me so frustrated that i abandoned the idea of markdown viewers in nvim... Here we go again XD

render-markdown.nvim is very nice and works with GitHub Flavoured Markdown, even down to some of the newer features like INFO, IMPORTANT, etc. quotes.

No, I prefer emacs.

makes sign of cross, and hisses

https://github.com/Vagab/mark similar tool, but with editing enabled also!

It’s funny to see markdown tools popping up with the rise of agents.

Charm Glamour with a view port uses basic vi keybinds as well

You had me at vi bindings

ie. vim

aka view
