Hi, I'm Rivo Link, an independent developer from Madagascar.

I build open-source developer tools, including leaf, a terminal-based Markdown viewer focused on speed, readability, and simplicity.

leaf is now officially available through Homebrew and Scoop.

Homebrew: brew install leaf-markdown-viewer

Scoop: scoop install leaf-markdown-viewer

This makes installing and updating leaf easier for macOS, Linux, and Windows users.

Feedback is always welcome.

Maybe you'd be interested in leaf (https://github.com/RivoLink/leaf). It works on Windows and runs directly in the terminal.

That's an interesting project. I'll think about your suggestion, thanks.

And thanks for the honest feedback on the article too.

You're right. I used glow before creating leaf, and the more I used it, the more I found myself wanting features like a persistent TOC, search, watch mode, and mouse support.

That led me to build leaf as a more GUI-like Markdown reader for the terminal.

Recently, an inline mode (leaf --inline) was added for users who prefer the simpler glow-style experience.
