mdv

mdv is a Markdown viewer.

Background

There are many standalone Markdown editors and text editor plugins, some of which use a full web browser and a local web server. All I want is a simple window to preview a Markdown file similar to a document viewer for PDFs. Okular supports Markdown but the result doesn't too nice in my opinion and the installation requires a lot of dependencies from KDE.
