The official README states that it is compatible with CommonMark and GitHub Flavored Markdown and supports most markdownlint rules. ### Project history The project is developed in the akiomik/mado GitHub repository, with Rust source, tests, fuzzing, benchmarks, a GitHub Action, and package definitions. Its release tags run from v0.1.0 through v0.3.0, and the repository page lists v0.3.0 as the latest release on Apr 11, 2025. ### Adoption history Mado’s official README documents installation through Homebrew, Nix, Arch Linux, Scoop, WinGet, and prebuilt release binaries. It also provides GitHub Actions usage, which makes the linter relevant both as a local CLI and a CI check. ### How it is used The basic workflow is `mado check .` or `mado check path/to/*.md`. Configuration can be placed in `mado.toml` or `.mado.toml` in the current directory, with global configuration under `~/.config/mado/mado.toml` on Linux and macOS and under the Roaming AppData path on Windows. ### Why package nerds care Mado is package-nerd relevant because it is a Rust-native alternative in a space long occupied by Ruby and Node markdownlint tools. The official benchmark claims a large speed advantage on a documentation-sized corpus, which is exactly the sort of difference that matters in monorepos and pre-commit or CI lint loops. ### Timeline - Public repository: Official Git tags begin at v0.1.0. - 2025: GitHub repository page lists v0.3.0 as the latest release on Apr 11, 2025. - 2025: README documents package-manager installs and GitHub Actions usage for v0.3.0. ### Related projects - Mado is related to markdownlint, markdownlint-cli, markdownlint-cli2, CommonMark, and GitHub Flavored Markdown. Its README positions it as mostly markdownlint-rule-compatible while emphasizing Rust performance. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for mado.
