I've been working on markwhen for a bit as a way to create timelines and calendars from plain text, like markdown. I personally like tools that let you immediately start using them, and I set out to do that here with markwhen. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!

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.
