My pain is that I couldn't find a decent md viewer for Windows: free, fast, simple, no distractions. Imagine notepad. I have to open my md files with VSCode or Notepad++ (nasty view).
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 2y agoI have a small wrapper for pandoc with sane defaults to create PDFs of my notes which I can print out and write on. Some of my scribblings are useful or important enough to get added to the markdown files and printed the next time.
- florbnit 2y agoEasy fix, just write your md files in HTML, that way they are easy to read, and when you need to look at the markdown you can just use a converter.
- DidYaWipe 2y agoThat's sarcasm, right?
- dontdieych 2y agoBrowser extension as MD reader is quite nice. - https://markdownreader.github.io https://markdownreader.github.io - https://github.com/simov/markdown-viewer https://github.com/simov/markdown-viewer Those two are quite good.
- dodorz 2y agoTry this one: Markdown Viewer. Other than the larger size that comes with being based on Electron, it's all quite good. https://github.com/c3er/mdview https://github.com/c3er/mdview
- huqedato 2y agoThanks. It looks pretty decent. And more important is the first one being just a reader/viewer not an editor with preview.
- DidYaWipe 2y agoEXACTLY. Open-source projects are rife with Markdown, but why? There are almost no VIEWERS for it. It's irritating as shit. After years of looking, I finally ended up with Marked (for Mac). When you ask for a Markdown reader in any forum, you get nothing but suggestions for EDITORS, which happen to have a preview pane. But what is it "previewing," when everybody's just reading these things as plain text with the formatting codes embedded in them?
