Hey HN, I’ve been cobbling together a tool to read beautifully formatted markdown without leaving my terminal.

Lime renders markdown in the terminal with actual formatting - big headers, syntax highlighted code, mermaid diagrams, all drawn using Ghostty’s Kitty graphics protocol support.

It picks up your terminal’s native theme and you can jump between headings, pull up a table of contents to search and jump to sections of your document.

It’s macOS and Ghostty for now, the document lives in scroll back and we use Apple Events to ask Ghostty jump around the scroll back instead of re-rendering. This also lets you use Ghostty’s native search and shortcuts for navigation.
