Still working on leaf: a terminal Markdown previewer with a GUI-like experience.

I have built :

- a GUI terminal-based Markdown previewer called "leaf": https://github.com/RivoLink/leaf

- and a lightweight AI automation framework called "flow": https://github.com/RivoLink/flow

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

I use Claude Code, flow for reusable skills/prompts, and leaf for reading Markdown comfortably in the terminal.

- Claude Code

- flow: https://github.com/RivoLink/flow

- leaf: https://github.com/RivoLink/leaf

- GNOME Terminal

It's a pretty terminal-first workflow.

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.

leaf is a terminal Markdown previewer that brings a more GUI-like reading experience directly to the command line.

It supports navigation, search, themes, watch mode, syntax highlighting, and more.

Show HN: leaf – one month later: website, releases and lots of improvements

RivoLink — Sat, 30 May 2026 19:09:43 +0000

Hi HN,

About a month ago, I shared leaf here while it was still in its early stages.

Since then, the project has shipped multiple releases, with UX improvements, bug fixes, and a documentation website now available.

leaf is a terminal-based Markdown reader focused on a GUI-like experience, with navigation, search, table of contents, clickable links, syntax highlighting, editor integration, LaTeX rendering, Mermaid diagrams, and more.

It works on Linux, macOS, Windows, and Termux.

GitHub: https://github.com/RivoLink/leaf

Thanks to all contributors and everyone who starred the project for their support, and feedback on UX, performance with large files, and missing features is still very welcome.
