APP OVERVIEW

What is md-viewer and who is it for?

This app displays Markdown files directly in the browser. Files are processed locally, so nothing is sent to a server, and it works offline. It opens eight file types and runs in a standalone window. It is aimed at anyone who needs to read Markdown documents without installing a desktop program or uploading files to a web service. Files can be opened from the app, and the window can be launched with custom behavior and advanced window modes.
