grip VS glow

A popular implementation of the idea written in Python:

For creating static web pages I usually use grip [1] to convert markdown. If you’re lazy this even works as a blog. I suppose if you’re even lazier you can just use a GitHub repo directly.

I'm putting together a little package to preview markdown files similarly to how they are rendered on GitHub. Previously I've used grip (and grip-mode), which are awesome, but I wanted a little more room for customization and to avoid hitting the GitHub API on every change.

Any recommendation for grip in Rust? So far I only find this.

If you cannot push markdown notes to a git hosting platform and must have a local markdown previewer, have you tried grip installed via pip?

I use one of these: - Sublime Text Package MarkdownPreview - Command line tool Grip - Browser Markdown editor https://dillinger.io/

Getting "click an .md file and it opens in the browser for viewing" for this Markdown viewer would be awesome: https://github.com/joeyespo/grip

Check out grip: it’s a Markdown previewer that runs in the background, checks for updates, and renders the output to HTML on a locally running server. The nice things is that changes to the Markdown document are updated automatically and immediately.

To get started, install Mods and check out some of the examples below. Since Mods has built-in Markdown formatting, you may also want to grab Glow to give the output some pizzazz.

I recently started using markdown in neovim (with an LSP) along with https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow to view markdown / navigate. Does everything I used to use Obsidian for minus the links / graph functionality which I don't really need and it's pretty snappy on an old Lenovo. Very customizable as well.

Yup, those seem to be the key challenges. I've been making good progress on them, but there's plenty more work to do!

On the topic of "AI-generated PRs", I used my tool to file a PR to the `glow` CLI tool. I don't know the go language, so I had aider make the changes to glow.

I've also been able solve a couple of github issues that were file by users by just pasting the issue into my tool... it fixed itself. Links below:

I'm personally also quite fond of Glow. I use it pretty much every time I touch a markdown file.

Nice idea! I’m excited to check it out. I write a lot of docs in Markdown and this could be a great way to browse them.

Out of curiosity, have you seen glow[0]?

Charm's Glow is a joy to use, a good example of having the Charm's Bubbletea usage - but from the code perspective, it's a bit difficult to navigate as many code paths are put in the same package

thanks! Yeah all the markdown is handled through glow, which is one fairly awesome tool.
