Links to other projects:

• Markdown Viewers:
  • https://github.com/retext-project/retext
    • Native GUI: It runs as a standalone desktop window, not a local web server/browser tab.
    • Live Preview: It features a synchronized preview pane that updates as the content changes.
    • Extensible: Because it is written in Python, you can easily add extensions (like MathJax for formulas).
  • https://github.com/alexaldearroyo/MarkdownViewer
    • Description: A compact viewer built specifically with Python and PyQt5 for macOS.
    • Pros: Designed solely for viewing; simpler interface.
    • Cons: Less actively maintained than ReText.
  • https://github.com/joeyespo/grip
    • The most accurate viewer is Grip, which uses the actual GitHub API to render markdown, ensuring it looks exactly like it does on GitHub.
    • How it works: You run grip myfile.md in the terminal, and it opens a browser window that auto-refreshes whenever you save the file.
