A very simple Markdown viewer

mauve's Issues

Mauve does not reload when the dropped file is changed

If Mauve receives a Markdown file on startup (mauve-markdown README.md) and the file is later changed, the view is reloaded correctly with new content. But if a file is drag&dropped into Mauve's window and then modified, the view is not reloaded. If the original file is modified, the view is reloaded with the original file's content.

Mauve should track proper files and reload the view when they are changed.

Add MacOS release

It might be possible to create an .app file for MacOS on a Linux machine (using electron-installer-zip). If so, proper build script should be added to package.json.

Beautify README file

Provide a nice gif showing how to use Mauve. That way potential users will be able to quickly find out if Mauve is a tool for them.

Add Windows release

There is a tool for building binaries for Windows platform (electron-winstaller) but the resulting file does not work. A proper tool should be found and the build script added.

Enable scrolling using J and K

Currently arrow keys scroll the window up and down. It should be possible to use J and K (VIM-style) for the same purpose.

Keywords are not highlighted

Mauve is supposed to display Markdown files the way GitHub does. The problem occurs when the file contains a block of code. For example, Python code looks like this on GitHub:

The same fragment displayed in Mauve looks like this:

The problem is probably with showdown not creating proper HTML tags from original Markdown content. Investigate additional showdown settings or find a new Markdown converter.

Note: this task might be an opportunity to refine the GitHub Markdown CSS file and remove markdown-body class from content.
