    Textual Markdown – a Markdown “browser” in the terminal▲254

    Hi HN, This is a TUI app which displays interactive Markdown documents. Interactive in the sense that you can scroll code fences / tables / and click links. There's a Table of Contents extracted from the MD, and a very rudimentary browser like forward + back. I'm thinking it could be the starting point for a variety of hypertext like applications in the terminal. Very much a work in progress.

    GitHub "Lines Viewed" extension to keep you sane reviewing long AI PRs▲40

    I was frustrated with how bad a signal of progress through a big PR "Files viewed" was, so I made a "Lines viewed" indicator to complement it. Designed to look like a stock Github UI element - even respects light/dark theme. Runs fully locally, no API calls. Splits insertions and deletions by default, but you can also merge them into a single "lines" figure in the settings.
