罗宾 (ID: 000000a1d140fabb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/01/2023 很好, CPU 占用少, 不象 Markdown Preview Plus CPU 占用很要命, 随便打开一个 md 文件, 笔记本的风扇就狂吵

Noah Chen (ID: 000000bcdca9e549) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/29/2023 Best markdown viewer

icon

Angelo Jr. (ID: 000000d6af9f6c37) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/22/2023 Muito bom! É simples porém atende bem minhas necessidades e expectativas até agora. Seria se os desenvolvedores colocassem um aviso mais explícito de que é necessário dar permissão a leitura de arquivos, isso evitaria as avaliações ruins de "não funciona".

Roberto Guerra (ID: 000000482377aa9f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/05/2023 Very good. I agree with other users: you need to watch the video to make it work, but besides that, it works pretty well. It's almost perfect. I have only one request... could it be possible to add UTF-8 support? I tried setting the encoding on my local .md file to utf8 but the extension stopped rendering it correctly.

Daniel Baharestani (ID: 000000967258ed2b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/30/2023 You won't be able to make it work without watching the video. It's not intuitive to set up and the options hidden in advanced are essential to make it work, they should be put in a start page and shown to the user to get started. But at the end of the day it works and is pretty useful.
