I Built a Simple Markdown Viewer for Developers

I launched a small tool yesterday that I’ve been wanting to have for a while: a Markdown Viewer.

Sometimes I just want to open a .md file and see how it actually renders without opening VS Code, installing an extension, or setting up a Markdown environment.

So I built one.

It lets you:

Preview Markdown instantly
Open .md files or paste Markdown
Check headings and document structure
Inspect links and images
View word/character counts
Spot common Markdown issues
Use it directly in the browser

One thing I cared about from the beginning: privacy.

Your Markdown is processed in the browser, so you don't need to upload your files or create an account.

It's live here:

It's a small project, but I'm planning to keep improving it.

If you work with Markdown regularly, what feature would you want to see added?
