I have been working on #Obsidian Reader for over a year. I didn't want to share it until I felt it was good enough. It's finally there.

Consistent formatting for any article. Outline, syntax highlighting, nice footnotes, adjustable typography.

Runs locally. Just rules, no AI.

To be fair this strawman extreme leftist lives mostly in my head. I have not actually met anyone like that
