What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A Neovim plugin that renders markdown previews in a floating window inside the editor, powered by charmbracelet's glow CLI. It is now archived and no longer maintained.

Use cases

  • preview markdown files inside neovim
  • render readme files without leaving the editor
  • view current buffer as formatted markdown
  • markdown preview in terminal-based editor

When to choose

  • you want a quick in-editor markdown preview and don't mind an unmaintained plugin
  • you already use glow and want neovim integration

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained plugin (consider render-markdown.nvim)
  • you need browser-based or live-sync markdown preview
