  1. mdflow

    Unlike mdcat and Glow (Glamour), which buffer the entire input before rendering, mdflow streams Markdown to the terminal in real time. It is also very fast and lightweight. (by cjccjj)

    (In my benchmarks, glow - the most popular cli renderer, was about 100x slower and used about 100x more RAM, which is quite unexpeected that I'd appreciate it if anyone could review or run a benchmarks to verify)
