Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser and Windows app for reading, editing, and exporting Markdown and PDF files.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

The page describes a rendering pipeline that converts Markdown to sanitized HTML, then conditionally loads code highlighting, KaTeX, or Mermaid support when a document needs it. Its navigation model is unusually concrete: headings and PDF bookmarks feed a persistent contents sidebar, while the reader tracks search matches, reading progress, words, characters, and estimated reading time. The Windows release is offered both as an installer and as a portable executable, identified on the page as version 2.0.0.
