A Markdown document viewer for the terminal

AMD Reader

AMD reader is a Markdown viewer / browser for your terminal, built with Textual. It is a hard fork from Textualize and all credits goes to their work. This derived work adds custom features and improvements. amd can open *.md files locally or via a URL. There is a familiar browser-like navigation stack, history, bookmarks, and table of contents.

Compatibility

amd runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. amd requires Python 3.8 or above.

Installing

The easiest way to install amd is with pipx (particularly if you aren't a Python developer).

pipx install amdreader

You can also install amd with pip:

pip install amdreader

Whichever method you use, you should have a amd command on your path.

Running

Enter amd at the prompt to run the app, optionally followed by a path to a Markdown file:

amd README.md

You can navigate with the mouse or the keyboard. Use tab and shift+tab to navigate between the various controls on screen.

Features

You can load README files direct from GitHub repositories with the gh command. Use the following syntax:

amd gh textualize/textual

This also works with the address bar in the app. See the help (F1) in the app for details.
