Still working on leaf: a terminal Markdown previewer with a GUI-like experience.

https://github.com/RivoLink/leaf

I have built :

- a GUI terminal-based Markdown previewer called "leaf": https://github.com/RivoLink/leaf

- and a lightweight AI automation framework called "flow": https://github.com/RivoLink/flow

What do you think about this Markdown viewer : https://github.com/RivoLink/leaf ?

Looks cool

Thanks

Maybe you'd be interested in leaf (https://github.com/RivoLink/leaf). It works on Windows and runs directly in the terminal.

I use Claude Code, flow for reusable skills/prompts, and leaf for reading Markdown comfortably in the terminal.

- Claude Code

- flow: https://github.com/RivoLink/flow

- leaf: https://github.com/RivoLink/leaf

- GNOME Terminal

It's a pretty terminal-first workflow.

Maybe you're interested in https://github.com/RivoLink/leaf. If so, I'd appreciate your feedback.

You're right. I used glow before creating leaf, and the more I used it, the more I found myself wanting features like a persistent TOC, search, watch mode, and mouse support.

That led me to build leaf as a more GUI-like Markdown reader for the terminal.

Recently, an inline mode (leaf --inline) was added for users who prefer the simpler glow-style experience.

I will say the project itself does not look like slop, just the linked post, super low quality making your efforts look lower quality

I too have tried other projects and then used Ai to build a more personal one. This seems to be the new modus operandi. It's very easy to point an ai at a project and have it build a new version with differences.

My current project like this is an alternative to and built on typesense

https://github.com/verdverm/gmd

I may end up including a terminal markdown browser not that your project planted that seed in my head. Reverse uno and add search to yours? (highly recommend using typesense as the base for that, so many great features)

That's an interesting project. I'll think about your suggestion, thanks.

And thanks for the honest feedback on the article too.

yw, there are good and bad places to promote projects. I think we've passed peak slop hype here and are getting back to putting in more effort before we share. Keep the rest of us up-to-date on progress!

leaf is a terminal Markdown previewer that brings a more GUI-like reading experience directly to the command line.

It supports navigation, search, themes, watch mode, syntax highlighting, and more.
