Google owns the HTML5 model. Anyone who says otherwise is just kidding themselves. The standard and specs are too broad for anyone without a boatload of cash to keep up with.

So I decided to go with a standard that wasn't as convoluted. . . Markdown.

Not going to lie, I vibe-coded the entire thing. And baked in a couple modifications to the standard as well:

:Aligns text right and :centers text:

It also auto-numbers lines starting with . .

I'm just curious if this community is AI-friendly, or if I need to post elsewhere.

It browses markdown and politely declines all HTML content. Written in Python and uses Pyglet as its rendering engine.

You're right. I didn't do any of the work, but I've been looking for a good markdown reader for a long time. The monospace white on black was driving me nuts. It was as if every developer who designed a reader had absolutely no soul. No spark of creativity within them. They desired the bare minimum of usability, without aesthetic. And I was tired of it.

This has beauty and soul. And, if it catches on, software and help docs can be written entirely in markdown, without needing to build entire pages of HTML with Javascript.

    I love this. . . And this. . . And this. . .

    I love that I can start my markdown lines as:

    . list item
    . list item
    . list item
    

    And it'll auto-number things for me now.

    And that

    :right-indented text
    :center-indented text:
    

    works.
