v0.1.2

mdview v0.1.2

First release — a terminal Markdown viewer that ships as a single self-contained binary (no Bun or Node.js needed on the target machine).

Highlights

• Live reload — re-renders on save and keeps your scroll position; ideal for split-pane editing.
• Search — forward / and backward ?, n/N, per-session history, and Unicode-aware smartcase.
• Full rendering — headings, lists, code, blockquotes, links, and GitHub-style tables with alignment; correct CJK and emoji widths.
• Minimal & safe — marked is the only dependency; no network, no subprocesses, no file writes (enforced by a test). Plain output when piped.

Install

On Linux, macOS, or Windows via WSL:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/closetheloop-dev/mdview/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

The installer detects the appropriate x64 or arm64 build, verifies its SHA-256 checksum, and installs mdview into ~/.local/bin.

To install this specific release:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/closetheloop-dev/mdview/main/scripts/install.sh | MDVIEW_VERSION=v0.1.2 bash

Binaries for Linux (x64/arm64) and macOS (Intel/Apple Silicon) are also attached below for manual installation:

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt --ignore-missing
# macOS: shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt --ignore-missing
tar -xzf mdview-0.1.2-linux-x64.tar.gz
./mdview --version
