Run on windows

[AndiLeni]

Hello,

dou you provide a windows executable?
This would be very nice to have, since not all windows users have ruby installed.

Kind regards
Andi

@AndiLeni Your needs may be met by installing charmbracelet/glow, which is a single binary available for Windows.

Solutions for creating binaries for Ruby programs to run on multiple platforms surely do exist, but that requires extra effort on the part of the developer. What you end up with is something like a 50 MB binary to run a 0.5 KB source file, so it's not an optimal solution either.

My gut tells me that's out-of-scope for this project, and that the best way to enjoy mdless is to grab Ruby for Windows and install it in the usual way.
