Markdown reader using find, fzf and lnav

  find . \( -path '*/vendor/*' -or -path '*/.git/*' -or -path '*/node_modules/*' \) -prune -or -type f -name "*.md" -print | fzf | xargs lnav
In the above command, the find command excludes directories such as "vendor" (golang), ".git" (git) and "node_modules" (nodejs). The lnav itself provides the markdown support https://lnav.org/2022/08/06/markdown-support.html

A screenshot would be a nice addition to the readme.

It seems is only pure text (no support for image extensions of a terminal, just a link to the image), based on this: https://github.com/taf2/mdvi/blob/master/src/renderer.rs

It looks nice and clean code.

Thanks i added a screenshot and in 0.2 you can see images now in the cli too

I created one I like: https://github.com/llimllib/mdriver

it can echo images with kitty image protocol, and streams the output, which I use to show LLM output as it arrives

It doesn't handle paging - you can pipe it to `less` or whatever pager for that

Charm Glamour with a view port uses basic vi keybinds as well

Isn’t vi good enough?

NeoVim w/ render-markdown.nvim

(not to poo on OP - I dig a clean TUI renderer, I have BAT installed for a reason)

Bat is nice. Oh dang now i have to try this plugin. I remember trying a couple of similar ones that got me so frustrated that i abandoned the idea of markdown viewers in nvim... Here we go again XD

It’s funny to see markdown tools popping up with the rise of agents.
