Coming from iamcco/markdown-preview

[Tweekism]

Hey mate,

I've come from the iamcco plugin as I see you have also, I was looking to revive the project but this might be better. It's a little hard to find a neovim markdown viewer and the top results on Google seems to be in various states of inactivity.

I haven't downloaded this yet, will do shortly. I don't have programming ability to undertake something like this on my own but hoping to find some way I can help out.

Hello there!

Sounds great! Let me know in case you have questions, run into any issue, or have other interesting thoughts :) Since we don't have many users here yet any question and new perspective will help the project!

Aside from the things mentioned in the README we also have some other new features coming very soon (the open PRs) so stay tuned for the next release.

I always keep a windows machine around, either for anticheat games at home or for windows tooling, sysadmin stuff at work.

Problem is once you add windows support you then also have to maintain it. I used to do programming for in-house windows desktop line of business applications in .net. Right now I could possibly manage it, but it could quickly grow out of hand and out of my ability.

Anyway this is probably a discussion for the other thread.

I do have a win 10 machine so I can potentially test or something, but have no prior knowledge what's involved in windows-compatibility

Yes, definitely! Will only make sense to add it if there's someone who is able and willing to take responsibility for that

[Tweekism]

Nice! Yes, packaging is definitely appreciated! I still have to do that for macOS as well, have been pushing it off ^^

Ok, so packaging for Fedora in an undertaking on par with Frodo's quest to destroy the one ring. So I'm going to put that in my "ToDo" pile, while also keeping an eye out for some slightly lower hanging fruit.

[jannis-baum]

Hahaha, alright

Cool :) I switched over from markdown-preview.nvim as well due to finding it cumbersome to make a small change to it:

https://github.com/tuurep/markdown-preview.nvim (my attempt to keep a fork in sync but now it's left behind)

For neovim I'm looking to fix a couple annoyances:

• Configure refreshing speed vivify.vim#5
• Sync cursor when first opening on viewer vivify.vim#6

But other than that it's been great and I use it every day.

I use it at work, so I kinda need something, but I was having trouble getting it to build, had to set env vars to force legacy SSL for some reason and then missing deps app/out/ and then with my extremely limited node experience and everyone who have used the plugin seemingly already left, I wasn't really looking forward to it :P

[tuurep]

Oh yeah, looks like I was also hit with that legacy SSL problem based on the latest commit I made 😄 I didn't remember this.
