Ask HN: Can anyone recommend a good markdown viewer that auto refreshes?
I use vim to edit markdown and have been using MacDown to preview the files. However, MacDown doesn't automatically reload the file when changes are made in vim. Any recommendations?

- kazinator 9y agoI would have a background process continuously doing .md -> .html conversion. Then I would have a FireFox tab open on the .html, and using an add-on, set that tab to auto-refresh periodically. Actually, regarding the first point, I wouldn't have a background process. In my Vim environment, I already have a custom command :W which saves the buffer and runs :make. I would have a Makefile which builds the .html from the .md. So by saving the .md with :W, the .html would regenerate and the auto-refreshing FF tab would pick that up however many seconds later.
