> You find MD files in every open-source project and lots of other places, but almost no viewers that render them as intended.

Huh? If you find a markdown file in a project on Github, I have every confidence that it renders as intended in Github's markdown viewer.

Do you not realize you're in a browser, on a Web page, if you're on Github?

And do you never actually clone the project to your machine and use it? When I sit down to actually use the project and I want to read the documentation, I want to double-click on the MD files and READ them. Not edit and preview, but read... with their intended formatting.

		You might have difficulty doing that without using a browser, given that markdown renders to HTML.
