## Historique du projet et usages

mdfried is a Rust terminal Markdown viewer and pager focused on rich terminal graphics. Its distinctive feature is rendering Markdown headings as genuinely larger text or images when the terminal supports a graphics or text-sizing protocol.

### Historique du projet

The GitHub repository was created in December 2024, and the crates.io package was first published later that month. The project iterated rapidly through 2025 and 2026, reaching the 0.22 series by June 2026.

The changelog shows the tool expanding from a visual Markdown viewer into a featureful terminal document browser: tree-sitter Markdown parsing, link navigation, URL and GitHub README opening, syntax highlighting, Mermaid rendering, image opening, OSC 8 clickable links, and experimental PDF support all appear in the documented 2026 releases.

### Historique d'adoption

mdfried is newer than mdcat and mdless but already has package-manager presence. The input facts list Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, and pacman-family packaging, while the README advertises Cargo installation, a Nix flake, release binaries, `.deb` files, and Mac and Windows binaries.

Crates.io reported the crate's creation in December 2024 and about 15,000 total downloads by 2026. Homebrew's formula tracked stable version 0.22.4 with install analytics, evidence of early but real CLI-tool adoption.

### Modes d'utilisation

The basic invocation is `mdfried ./path/to.md`. It can also open URLs that serve Markdown and `github:owner/repo` targets when a README exists on the default branch.

On first run, users may choose a font if automatic detection is not enough; the selection is written to `~/.config/mdfried/config.toml`. `--setup` repeats font setup and `--print-config` prints a fuller configuration example.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

mdfried is notable because it pushes terminal Markdown viewing into the modern graphics-terminal era. Packaging it involves more than installing a text filter: the formula includes chafa and GTK/glib-related dependencies through Homebrew, and runtime behavior varies by terminal image protocol.

For package nerds, it is also a fast-moving Rust package that crosses Cargo, Nix, Homebrew, binary releases, and Debian-style artifacts while still pre-1.0.

### Chronologie

- 2024: GitHub repository and crates.io package appeared in December.
- 2026: Version 0.18.0 used tree-sitter/tree-sitter-md for Markdown parsing.
- 2026: Version 0.20.1 added URL and GitHub README opening.
- 2026: Version 0.21.0 added code syntax highlighting and Mermaid rendering.
- 2026: Version 0.22.0 added OSC 8 clickable links.

### Related projects

- mdfried overlaps with mdcat and mdless as a terminal Markdown viewer, but it emphasizes large rendered headings, rich image support, pager navigation, and terminal graphics protocols.
- Its README references ratatui-image, chafa, arborium, mermaid rendering, Sixel, kitty, and iTerm2 protocols as important parts of its ecosystem.
