As AI tools generated Markdown (.md) files got longer, it became quite cumbersome to switch back and forth between the original text and the results in an editor or to navigate through multiple files.
That's why I introduced Markdown Leader, my own Markdown reading and review tool, in a previous post. This time, the public version has been updated to 1.1.0 with some refinements to frequently used features.
My workflow is simple.
Open the project folder and locate Markdown documents in one place.
Open multiple documents as tabs and pin or bookmark frequently accessed materials.
Use checkboxes and review notes to mark feedback for AI to revisit. And tell the AI "one word".
For those who are not good at writing MD files, preview as A4 and save as PDF before sending.
Changes in 1.1.0
You can drag the sidebar width to view longer filenames more widely.
Files and folders can be sorted by name A/Z or modification date N/O.
Preview in actual A4 page units and save as PDF using the Chrome print function.
When files or folders are moved, existing tabs, pins, and bookmarks are maintained and reconnected.
Files that cannot be connected will not be reread repeatedly, and the last viewed text will be retained for easy recovery.
Normal reading and navigation do not modify the original. Only review actions performed by the user, such as changing checkbox status or adding, modifying, or deleting review notes, are saved to the original Markdown.
You can install the currently released 1.1.0 from the Chrome Web Store.

For those who read a lot of AI-generated documents, which feature is most needed among folder sorting, A4/PDF, and file reconnection? Please let me know any inconveniences you experience in the actual usage flow so I can refer to them for future improvements.
