A Markdown viewer app was developed using Electron to address the need for a focused application for viewing Markdown files. The app's bundled size was around 90 MB for both Mac and Windows distributions. A key feature included the ability to open Markdown files by double-clicking. The UI was kept simple, and the HTML/CSS from the Electron app was reused. Special handling for frontmatter in Markdown files was implemented by replacing dashes with backticks for better rendering.
