vmd is a standalone desktop application for previewing markdown files in a separate window, rendered GitHub-style. It supports file watching for live updates, stdin piping, drag-and-drop, emoji, checklists, and front matter rendering.
Use cases
- preview markdown files in a separate window
- live preview markdown while writing in my editor
- view README.md rendered like GitHub
- pipe command output into a markdown viewer
- preview Jekyll or Hugo front matter content
- open markdown files with drag and drop
When to choose
- you want a dedicated GitHub-style markdown previewer outside your editor
- you need live-reloading preview while writing markdown documents
- you want to preview markdown from stdin or piped output
- you need a standalone viewer with emoji, checklists, and front matter support
When to avoid
- you want markdown preview inside VS Code or another editor (use an editor plugin instead)
- you need a static site generator or markdown-to-HTML converter
- you require actively maintained software with recent releases
- you need collaborative or web-hosted markdown editing
