showmd

What it does

Ever asked yourself why all of those SKILL.md files are rendered in plain text in MacOS Preview? showmd is a free, native macOS Quick Look extension that renders Markdown beautifully. YAML frontmatter parsed into a collapsible metadata table — collapsed by default, one click to expand. No other viewer does this. Agentic AI XML tags — and 17 more — rendered as labeled, bordered blocks instead of raw angle brackets.

showmd is a free, native macOS Quick Look extension that renders Markdown beautifully. YAML frontmatter as a collapsible table, rendered and source toggle, dark mode. No account, no cloud.

This file configures how the AI agent behaves in this repo. Read carefully before running any automated task or deploying to production. Press Space on a .md file and macOS dumps the raw source — hashes, asterisks, dashes and all. Unreadable. AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules — full of XML tags, alerts, and structured prompts. Every viewer renders them as garbled angle brackets. Mermaid flowcharts and LaTeX equations are just raw text in every other previewer. You have to open a browser to see what they actually look like.

  Talanoa▲340

  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…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https:&#x2F;&#x2F;text.blogosphere.app&#x2F; Non-minimal: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blogosphere.app&#x2F; If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
