About:
Inlyne is a GPU-accelerated Markdown viewer that renders files directly in the terminal using WebGPU, eliminating the need for a web browser. It provides instant rendering of text, images, and HTML elements with smooth scrolling and interactive links. This makes it ideal for developers seeking a fast, native, and resource-efficient way to preview documentation and READMEs.
Key Features:
  • GPU-accelerated rendering via WebGPU
  • Browserless operation (native performance)
  • Support for images, HTML, and inline elements
  • Interactive links and smooth scrolling
  • Lightweight and fast startup
Use Cases:
  • Previewing Markdown documentation without leaving the terminal
  • Viewing README files in Git repositories
  • Reading technical notes and documentation offline
Alternatives:
  • glow – Glow renders Markdown in the terminal using standard TUI, while Inlyne uses GPU acceleration for richer rendering and image support.
  • lynx – Lynx is a text-based web browser; Inlyne is a dedicated Markdown viewer with native rendering.
