Thanks! I actually prefer a separate window personally since I find myself always wanting to quickly be able to reference this app. With it being its own application I can quickly use spotlight search to focus the window instead of needing to dig through my browser tabs to find it


This isn’t the 90s anymore. Using the systems web view is, in fact, native by definition.


I'm a web developer too, and I would like this to be true, but it really isn't. Words have meaning. "Native" implies that you are *directly* using OS-specific API's. You are not.

You built a Cross-Platform Desktop Application using Web APIs. That's okay. You shouldn't lie about that.


I was using obsidian before this. There were two main frustrations for me with obsidian. First, opening a markdown file that did not live in a vault wasn’t possible. Second there was not a CLI that made it easy to quickly open files


I live in my terminal but for some reason any TUI markdown viewers just don’t do it for me


Yeah - I've tried a bunch of them, and nothing's really perfect but those seem to be good enough for lightweight use.


Haha awesome. Was the lowest hanging fruit for a name


You should ask them to make it work on windows or Linux once they’re done on Mac :) would be a good lesson for them


Voiden looks awesome I’ll have to check it out


yep we too are markdown based but are a api tool !


I’m a neovim user so I’ve never used the vscode markdown viewer. One of the things I want to add is the git and live update features though. I think those would be a game changer


These are great suggestions I’ll get these added tomorrow!


Thanks again for this suggestion. I just went and added these features


Awesome that’s a super interesting approach
