HubView — Scripting file viewer

A clean, fast, local file viewer with a GitHub‑style UI. Browse folders, preview code with syntax highlighting, render Markdown (tables, task lists, admonitions), show images/video/audio/PDF, and even draw Mermaid diagrams via fenced blocks.

1. Create python Script to run hubview

# Example Hubview Run

from hubview import app


scripts = {

        "args": ["--foo", "bar"],

    },
}

app.create_hub(root="./", host="0.0.0.0", port=3000, scripts=scripts)
