PreviewMD turns Markdown into a calm, native document experience: beautiful reading, direct editing, source and split views, tabs, folders, Quick Look, search, diagrams, math, code, and export — with no account and no network required for rendering. It began as a late-night macOS project by Adam Jesionkiewicz. It is now open source because the interesting version of this idea is bigger than one app and one platform. The macOS app is ready today. Ports, shared foundations, new workflows, and surprising ideas are welcome. A calm native workspace for reading, navigating, and understanding Markdown. Why it is fun to work on PreviewMD sits at an unusually good intersection: - native app craft — real macOS windows, menus, tabs, Quick Look, printing, drag and drop, and accessibility; - document engineering — files stay files, links remain meaningful, and local images work offline; - web rendering without a web service — the document engine is bundled and deterministic; - design with visible results — typography, layout, interaction, and export quality are immediately testable; - room to grow — the renderer and document behaviors can become a shared foundation for Windows, Linux, and other front ends.
