About:
Shiba is a cross-platform desktop application that provides a live preview of Markdown files with integrated linting capabilities. It automatically updates the rendered view as you type, helping to catch formatting errors and style issues in real-time. This tool streamlines the documentation writing workflow by combining editing and previewing into a single, responsive interface.
Key Features:
  • Real-time Markdown preview with syntax highlighting
  • Built-in linter for style and formatting checks
  • Cross-platform support (macOS, Windows, Linux)
  • File watcher for automatic reloads
  • Customizable themes and styling
Use Cases:
  • Technical writers creating documentation in Markdown
  • Developers maintaining README files and technical documentation
  • Teams requiring consistent Markdown formatting across projects
Alternatives:
  • Typora – Typora offers a more polished WYSIWYG editing experience but is not open-source
  • Visual Studio Code – VS Code provides Markdown preview via extensions but is a full-featured editor, not a dedicated preview tool
