Hi HN, I built a simple TUI for viewing and editing .md files in the terminal. More and more markdown files keep appearing in our projects, and I found myself needing a quick way to view(with syntax highlighting) and edit them without leaving the terminal, so I built this

I find it aesthetically pleasing, but if I'm correct, it's very difficult to see in the terminal how it would appear when opened in the GUI, isn't it? I mean, I'm thinking what could be my use-case...maybe it's relevant only for people that work 100% of their time on the terminal? (Do they exist?)

Hi! Thank you for your comment and you're right, this is more suitable for folks whose workflows are mainly on terminal, so yeah it's pretty niche.

And to your question about whether they exist: absolutely! Personally, I've been using more terminal tools lately like OpenCode, Claude Code, etc., so I wanted a way to view and edit md files right away without leaving the terminal :D And there are many people like this
