    md-viewer-py is a versatile, drop-in Markdown viewer designed for any folder on your system. It simplifies the process of viewing and interacting with Markdown files by providing a user-friendly dashboard, live reloading capabilities, and customizable themes. Installation is straightforward via pip: simply run pip install md-viewer-py and then execute the mdview command from anywhere.

    This tool is perfect for developers, writers, and anyone who frequently works with Markdown files and needs a quick, efficient way to preview and edit them. It addresses the common problem of juggling multiple applications or complex setups to view Markdown, offering a seamless, integrated experience.

    Key Features:

    • Minimal Dependencies: Primarily relies on watchdog for live reload, automatically installed with pip.
    • Easy Installation: Installable via pip or pipx, allowing you to use the mdview command universally.
    • Dashboard View: A grid view of folders and files, inspired by macOS Finder.
    • Themes: Supports both dark and light themes, with an OS-aware toggle.
    • File Tree Sidebar: Navigate through directories with collapsible folder structures.
    • Full-Text Search: Debounced search across all Markdown files with lazy loading.
    • Table of Contents: Auto-generated ToC with scroll spy and collapsible groups.
    • Collapsible Sections: Click headings to expand or collapse content.
    • In-Browser Editing: Toggle edit mode with a toolbar, featuring live preview and saving directly to disk.
    • Live Reload: Instant updates through Server-Sent Events (SSE) and native file system watching.
    • Syntax Highlighting: Supports code blocks with highlight.js.
    • Mermaid Diagrams: Renders flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and more inline.
    • .gitignore Support: Respects ignore patterns from root and subdirectories.
    • Gzip Compression & Caching: Optimized responses with Gzip compression and ETag caching.
    • Keyboard Shortcuts: Includes navigation via arrow keys and search with '/'.
    • Reading Progress: Indicates reading progress within the document.

    md-viewer-py aims to provide a comprehensive yet lightweight solution for Markdown viewing and editing, making documentation and writing workflows far more efficient.
