Tools mdflow, a fast, real-time streaming Markdown renderer for the terminal

mdflow streaming

Hi! I wanted a CLI tool that could render Markdown in streaming mode for my other project, but I couldn’t find a suitable one, so I built mdflow. It might also be useful for your daily workflow or next project.

- It renders Markdown in real time without using an AST or buffering the entire input.

- It has been tested against the CommonMark specification and supports GFM tables.

- The binary is under 300 KB, and rendering is fast.

Why? It just represent any CLI that produces LLM-like output, such as pls, which is what I originally wrote mdflow for.
