This is a markdown reader for the terminal that renders large headings via the kitty graphics protocol. It loads the file into scrollback and uses Apple Events to jump between sections instead of re-rendering, so reading feels like paging through a PDF in the terminal. It currently runs on Ghostty on macOS and may expand to other terminals supporting the kitty graphics protocol.

    “I've been working on a beautiful markdown reader for the terminal. It uses the kitty graphics protocol to render big headings. It works by loading your file into scrollback and using apple events to jump around scrollback rather than re-rendering the section you want so it feels like reading a pdf in your terminal. Ghostty + macos atm, but might expand to other terminals supporting kitty.”
