Thought id share a recent finding i stumbled upon, as someone who both loves the CLI and markdown, this was a true gem to find for me. Hope others will enjoy it as much as i do :)

What is it?

Glow is a terminal based markdown reader designed from the ground up to bring out the beauty—and power—of the CLI. Use it to discover markdown files, read documentation directly on the command line. Glow will find local markdown files in subdirectories or a local Git repository.

cool, I've been using it myself for a while, it's not an editor though (as in the title)

In the video, the author edits text. Meaning, it is an editor. ?

that seems to be another bubbletea cli app, like one of these examples.

This is a awesome improvement to CLI, it makes me wish that TTY was vector based though, we could do so much with a modern TTY.
