Marked 3 - Markdown Preview for Mac
@ttscoff Congrats on the launch of Marked QL, Brett! 🚀 Having native Markdown Quick Look back in macOS with modern rendering is huge.
Quick question on customization: does Marked QL allow using custom CSS/themes for the Quick Look render (like custom syntax highlighting themes or dark/light mode sync), or does it default to standard system styles?

@franz_briones You can add 1 custom theme at a time. It shares some of Marked 3's themes by default.
Very neat idea! Native previews always feel faster than opening another app.
Curious...does it support large Markdown files without slowing down?
Best of luck with the launch! 🚀
Marked 3 - Markdown Preview for Mac
@worksforme It handles pretty large files with lots of mermaid diagrams. I haven't stress tested it with files over 500k, but it should do fine, as Apex is quite fast.
That's nice. Does it handle YAML frontmatter in README files, or does it render those as plain text?

@dhiraj_patel5 Apex handles all kinds of front matter, YAML, MultiMarkdown, Pandoc, etc.
Congrats on the launch! Native Markdown previews in Finder are one of those features that seem small until you use them every day. I like the focus on integrating with the existing macOS workflow instead of creating another standalone app.
Does it support GitHub Flavored Markdown features like Mermaid diagrams, task lists, and tables?

@dasmat13 Yep.
The fact that Quick Look previews handle Mermaid diagrams and math rendering natively feels like exactly the kind of detail macOS has been missing for years. Worth every penny just to finally preview READMEs without opening the whole editor.
I've been looking for a reliable Markdown Quick Look extension for a long time, and this is exactly what I needed. The previews are fast, clean, and accurate, with excellent support for syntax highlighting, Mermaid, and MathJax. Highly recommended for anyone working with Markdown on macOS.
