Review Summary

Markdown Reader is praised for its lightweight, fast performance and beautiful, clean rendering of markdown documents, supporting local files, URLs, and embedded HTML with CSS styling. Users appreciate its configurability and responsive maintainer support. However, common issues include failure to recognize uppercase file extensions, non-working code line wrap feature, and cases where server-hosted markdown files download rather than render. Some users find the default max-width limit restrictive.

Pros

  • Lightweight and fast, handles large markdown files without lagging.
  • Clean, readable, and beautiful rendering of markdown documents.
  • Supports local files and URLs with easy drag and drop functionality.
  • Offers configuration options and responsive maintainer support.
  • Supports embedded HTML tags and custom CSS per markdown file.

Cons

  • Does not recognize markdown files with uppercase extensions (e.g., .MD).
  • Code line wrapping feature does not work properly.
  • Server markdown files sometimes download instead of rendering directly.
  • Default max-width of 900px is considered too small by some users.
