It's probably only me but isn't Markdown's main "selling point"/feature the raw files are human readable?
Looking at the screenshots, the only thing the "rendering" provides seem to be: 1) syntax highlights on code blocks; and 2) don't need to count the ordered bullets?
I guess if you need to verify that your markdown can be rendered (e.g no syntax errors), this would be helpful, but for that use case maybe a markdown linter is better?
- dharmab 3y agoMarkdown can also contain inlined HTML, which is not human readable.

- bjornasm 3y agoJust because something is human readable doesn't mean there isn't value in making it even more readable? I would certainly prefer to read a markdown file rendered like this than completely raw.
- willm 3y agoIt also renders headers, horizontal rule, bold, emphasis, strike through, underline, links, inline code, block quotes, and tables.
