Show HN: leaf – a terminal Markdown previewer with a GUI-like experience

https://github.com/RivoLink/leaf

RivoLink•6h ago
Hi HN,

I built leaf, a Markdown previewer that runs entirely in the terminal.

It supports keyboard/mouse navigation, syntax highlighting, tables, checkboxes, clickable links, search, table of contents, local Markdown links, inline images, Mermaid diagrams, and LaTeX-to-Unicode rendering.

It works on Linux, macOS, Windows, and Termux.

GitHub: https://github.com/RivoLink/leaf

I’d appreciate feedback on the UX, missing features, and performance on large Markdown files.

yboris•36m ago
Please consider adding a screenshot directly into the README (rather than a separate link).

Also maybe a single paragraph at the top describing the project rather than jumping into `install`.

RivoLink•6m ago
Thanks for your feedback. I added the screenshot and a short description inside it.
benj111•22m ago
Why a previewer rather than an editor that updates as you write?

Do you have a specific use case?

It seems to me that markdown is for writing with the ultimate output supposedly being html. Having a viewer of the markdown doesn't seem to add anything.

Whereas making it an editor makes it more of a rich text editor.

I'm not particularly saying youre wrong, more posing a philosophical question.

RivoLink•4m ago
There are both "open in editor" and "watch" modes.

The idea is not to replace an editor, but to complement it: - "open in editor" lets you edit the file with your preferred editor - "watch" automatically refreshes the preview when the file changes

So you can keep your usual workflow while having a fast, structured preview directly in the terminal.

`pandoc "$@ | lynx -stdin` and I save you from 225 potential supply chain attack crates.

`cargo audit` finds 3 vulnerabilities, you should fix them.

Blazing safe.

Glow is also an excellent markdown viewer for the terminal, and it’s in most repositories.

cool project, how does it compare to glow? https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow
fragmede•34m ago
If this project doesn't have open issues going back a year that are unanswered, it's doing better than glow. I forked glow to fix this one specific rendering bug, because the maintainers didn't respond to my bug report. I can't say that my fork is any better maintained, because no one is using it, but glow isn't maintained and has bugs so I wouldn't hold it up as anything other than abandonware.

Like... why are we doing this. What is the purpose of having a bunch of green checkbox emojis in the already bulleted list of features. The only thing it tells me is that an LLM was probably used extensively in building this project.
