Markoff

A light-weight CommonMark previewer for OSX.

• Uses cmark, a C implementation of CommonMark, for parsing and rendering. This is a lot of faster than other existing Ruby and JavaScript solutions.
• Allows you to select your default editor and open the previewed document in it by hitting Cmd+e, using the menu item, or clicking the toolbar button.
• Uses highlight.js for syntax highlighting.
• Detects YAML frontmatter and renders it as a special code block.
• Auto-reloads the preview whenever the original file is saved. Depending on your editor, you might be able to set up auto-save to get an always up-to-date preview without manually saving.
• Shows basic information such word and character count.
