Textual looks really cool. But is there something similar in e.g. go instead of python?
The closest thing in Go I know of is bubbletea:

#42The Textualize crew appears to be making some cool stuff. I'm looking forward to the Web browser.

#43It's probably only me but isn't Markdown's main "selling point"/feature the raw files are human readable?
Looking at the screenshots, the only thing the "rendering" provides seem to be: 1) syntax highlights on code blocks; and 2) don't need to count the ordered bullets?
I guess if you need to verify that your markdown can be rendered (e.g no syntax errors), this would be helpful, but for that use case maybe a markdown linter is better?

#44Semi related, but are there any good options for terminal rendering of HTML? I would be fairly accommodating of a best-effort dump of human visible body content.

There's a few terminal browsers like w3m, browsh and links that should work for many basic HTML pages.

Markdown can also contain inlined HTML, which is not human readable.

Just because something is human readable doesn't mean there isn't value in making it even more readable? I would certainly prefer to read a markdown file rendered like this than completely raw.

A full terminal web browser is a bit more than I was looking for, but this is definitely an option. Was thinking more something I could pipe text into to get an extraction and/or a simpler pager interface.
The browsh repo front page is just insanely impressive[0]. `links` is impossible to query the web for the project, so if you had more guidance on that one, it would be appreciated.

Edit: Noted I was querying for something more feature anemic, plus Browsh link

#49I'm a big fan of the Markdown Preview feature in VS Code Honest question: why do developers insist so much on using command line based tools? What's the advantage over using an IDE? (e.g. VS Code or PyCharm)
VSCode is my main tool from day to day - I use it extensively for coding, documenting, writing papers, drafting e-mails, writing my work log/diary. However I was intrigued by this tool as I've already have open 4-6 tabs in my VSCode, so I think this would be neat to reduce the resource use a bit.

I've found elinks to be really good. It preserves colors and has really nice navigation controls for interactive use (you can press dot to toggle numbered links). Here is a screenshot of this page: https://i.imgur.com/mP1T0H3.png
If you're just looking to format a page, it has a -dump option. If you want to preserve colors as well, use -dump-color-mode 4
