As others, I find the comparison to ghostty somewhat confusing. Also, this seems like a separate app for what could be a TUI application? Unless I'm missing something. The idea of showing raw Markdown with just a few colors and maybe some bold/italic variations is compelling, but what about tables? Tables in Markdown can be very useful, but also a pain to type out/format manually. Auto-save on every keystroke sounds good, but wouldn't that hammer the underlying storage too much for no reason? And the installation instructions continuing the unfortunate trend of `curl | bash` doesn't help.. ----- On the topic of Markdown editors, what are the current recommendations (primarily for Linux)? Obsidian is a crowd favorite, but it seems too heavy if I want to only open a single file, especially outside of any vault. Something to preview/edit `README.md` files would be nice.

Here's one: https://github.com/marktext/marktext https://github.com/marktext/marktext There are other suggestions at https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1023abr/what_is_the_simplest_markdown_viewer/ https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1023abr/what_is_the_...

  I suspect GP was looking for non-electron apps since they said Obsidian is too heavy, so marktext won't cut it.

    You guessing, based on an overgeneralization of "too heavy" (the context was quite explicitly opening a single file outside the Obsidian vault--nothing about electron), that it isn't what they're looking for provides no value to me (or to anyone else, for that matter). I was simply trying to be helpful; if marktext isn't what they want then they won't use it. The same for the other solutions I posted, such as using pandoc to generate html from markdown.

I found apostrophe to fit this requirement perfectly: https://apps.gnome.org/en/Apostrophe/ https://apps.gnome.org/en/Apostrophe/
