Read-only Windows markdown viewer — native Rust + egui/eframe, sub-second startup, no Electron, no telemetry.

A native, self-contained Windows desktop markdown viewer. No runtime, no browser engine, no background services. Scans a configurable root directory for .md files, presents them in a collapsible sidebar tree, and renders the selected file as formatted markdown with syntax-highlighted code fences via egui_commonmark. Inline images, figure captions through the CommonMark title attribute, PDF export via bundled headless Chromium.

Starts in under a second. Nothing is editable; no plugins, no cloud sync. For anyone who keeps a local library of markdown — documentation, notes, references, runbooks — and wants to browse it without ceremony.
