The README was the upstream README word for word, so it read as if KofTwentyTwo shipped the macOS app. Every download, cask and update link points at darinkelkhoff/markdownViewr, and this fork publishes no releases. Say so, and point to the upstream printing PRs (#2 merged, #3 open) and to the Windows port. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
markdownViewr
This is KofTwentyTwo's contribution fork of darinkelkhoff/markdownViewr. It publishes no builds. The download, Homebrew cask and Sparkle updates below all come from the upstream project. The fork carries printing work that is offered upstream: native printing merged as darinkelkhoff/markdownViewr#2, and the print-styling fixes are open as #3. Report app issues upstream. The Windows port is KofTwentyTwo/MarkdownViewr.Windows.
