About
Hi HN,About a month ago, I shared leaf here while it was still in its early stages.Since then, the project has shipped multiple releases, with UX improvements, bug fixes, and a documentation website now available.leaf is a terminal-based Markdown reader focused on a GUI-like experience, with navigation, search, table of contents, clickable links, syntax highlighting, editor integration, LaTeX rendering, Mermaid diagrams, and more.It works on Linux, macOS, Windows, and Termux.GitHub: https://github.com/RivoLink/leafThanks to all contributors and everyone who starred the project for their support, and feedback on UX, performance with large files, and missing features is still very welcome.

Love seeing the month-later update, too many projects launch and then ghost. Docs site is a smart move, that's usually the first thing people skip and then wonder why nobody sticks around 🙃 What's been the most surprising piece of feedback since launch? Always fascinating what users latch onto versus what you expect them to care about.
Good on you for shipping the docs site early, that's usually the last thing people bother with. The release cadence is aggressive though. Curious what the stack looks like under the hood, because sustaining that pace without burning out or accumulating tech debt is where most of these projects quietly stall. Also, what's the monetization angle here? Open source with hosted tier, or purely community-driven?
Solid iteration speed.
docs look super clean 👌
docs are clean. what's the revenue play here?
Solid velocity for one month in, shipping multiple releases alongside documentation is nothing to scoff at 🚀 Curious about the stack decisions here: what's powering the backend, and are you running into any scaling constraints with the architecture you've chosen? The UX improvements are encouraging, though the real test will be whether the momentum holds once the initial launch energy fades.
month one ship velocity looks good for early traction
new docs have such clean typography
multiple bug fixes in one month is concerning
took a month to add docs and fix bugs, thrilling pace
still too buggy for daily use
