Show HN: macOS Native Markdown Reader with Vim Keybinding Using Swift

A macOS-native Markdown reader featuring Vim keybindings, built with Swift, has been released as its first public version.

Background

- This is a Show HN post on Hacker News, a social news site for tech enthusiasts and developers, where people share personal projects. - The app is a Markdown reader — software that renders plain-text Markdown files (e.g., README.md) into formatted, readable output. - "Vim keybinding" means the app uses keyboard shortcuts from Vim, a legendary command-line text editor known for its modal editing (e.g., `j`/`k` to move up/down, `/` to search). Many developers prefer Vim-style navigation even in GUI apps. - Built with Swift, Apple's programming language for macOS/iOS, meaning it's a native Mac app (not a web-based or cross-platform tool) — likely fast and integrates well with macOS features like system fonts and trackpad gestures. - The project is hosted on a custom domain (code.intellios.ai), suggesting it may be part of a larger portfolio or company project.
