Mukette, a Markdown Pager for Unix-Based Systems

In plain words

Mukette is a pager tool for Unix-based systems that displays Markdown files in the terminal. It allows users working in terminal emulators to read formatted Markdown documentation directly without needing to convert files to other formats. The tool is designed for developers who spend most of their time in the command line and want a simpler way to view Markdown files like README documents.

A TUI Pager for Markdown, a tool similar to man(1) or most(1), but renders Markdown in-terminal - Chubek/Mukette

In the maker’s words, at launch

I really apologize if I am submitting this twice. I am new to these fora. I just discovered Show HN. The other thread did not have Show HN so it did not get any traction. This is a useful little tool so I guess people will like it. You're eithre like me, and do all your work in the terminal emulator. If they…

  Textual Markdown – a Markdown “browser” in the terminal2022 · github.com · ▲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.

  Frogmouth – A Markdown browser for the terminal2023 · github.com · ▲240

  Hi HN, Frogmouth is a TUI to display Markdown files. It does a passable job of displaying Markdown, with code blocks and tables. No image support as yet. It's very browser like, with navigation stack, history, and bookmarks. Works with both the mouse and keyboard. There are shortcuts for viewing README.md files and other Markdown on GitHub and GitLab. License is MIT. Let me know what you think...

  Doxx – Terminal .docx viewer inspired by Glow2025 · github.com · ▲261

  I got tired of open file.docx → wait 8 seconds → close Word just to read a document, so I built a terminal-native Word viewer! What it does: * View `.docx` files directly in your terminal with (mostly) proper formatting * Tables actually look like tables (with Unicode borders!) * Nested lists work correctly with indentation * Full-text search with highlighting * Copy content straight to clipboard with `c` * Export to markdown/CSV/JSON Why I made this: Working on servers over SSH, I constantly hit Word docs I needed to check quickly. The existing solutions I'm aware of either strip…

  Ov – feature rich terminal pager2023 · github.com · ▲181

  I made a terminal pager that can be used instead of more, less, tail -f. It has a mode that distinguishes between headers and columns.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
