seems like vscode + preview is nearly the same? I guess my key issue is, with files getting continuously modified by coding agents, I want really good integration with git and live update features. If the file just got edited, make it easy to see the new parts etc.

#22Seems like I'm just part of the club here, but I've also been working on something similar recently. https://vantageapp.dev/ I find connecting understanding between humans and agents is one of the most important parts of the agentic development cycle, and markdown is a great way to handle that. Not only can you point it at an entire directory, you can point it at multiple projects, quick load a project with a keyboar…
To do the job that swarf does, I found that the bwrap sandbox I’d been using is the perfect place to mount a folder to catch markdown junk and keep it out of the project’s actual git repo. Works great.

#25Congrats on shipping! Been also building this slowly, mostly assisting my kids. What they built is Apple-only, since it's a native iOS/macOS app in Swift. It's been a very interesting experience for me, as even capable frontier LLMs still can't write Apple SwiftUI/AppKit properly. They constantly get the bridges wrong, and any feature prompt puts your previous architectural efforts at risk :)

#26Like many others here, I made this for myself too, but! mine is also named marky!

#27Definitely appreciate this. I already have Typora which is commercial but fantastic product so I don't really need another viewer but others for sure will. Glad you used Tauri to make this. I will check it out.
I tend to use 'bat' or 'glow' though I've tried 'mdlook' and 'mdcat' as well.

Is software ever done?
Why remove the dev notes for the future agents?
