Textual Markdown – a Markdown “browser” in the terminal

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.

In plain words

Textual Markdown is a terminal-based application that displays and navigates interactive Markdown documents. Users can scroll through code blocks and tables, click links, and jump between sections using an auto-generated table of contents and basic forward and back navigation. Designed for developers who work in the terminal, it serves as a foundation for building hypertext-like applications without leaving the command line.

    Hey HN, In this age of agentic coding I've found myself spending a lot of time reviewing markdown files. Whether it's plans or documentation that I've asked my agent to generate for me, it seems that I spend more time reading markdown than code. I've tried a few different solutions to make it easier to read such as Obsidian however I've found their Vault system to be quite limiting for this use case and I've found TUI solutions to not quite be as friendly to read as I've wanted so I made Marky. Marky is a lightweight desktop application that makes it incredibly easy to read and track your…
