MuM launches reading-first Markdown engine

MuM gets the product thesis right: Markdown has become infrastructure for documentation and AI-generated artifacts, yet most tools still optimize for writing rather than consumption. Its native-only approach is compelling, though its deliberately narrow scope makes it a complement to Obsidian or VS Code—not a replacement.

• –Reader-first navigation, persistent reading positions, and multi-project support directly address fragmented documentation workflows.
• –AppKit rendering promises fast startup, predictable typography, and strong CJK support without browser overhead.
• –Headless commands for rendering, outlining, searching, and validation make MuM unusually useful in agent-driven documentation pipelines.
• –MIT licensing, no telemetry, a 1.7 MB download, and notarized distribution lower adoption friction.
• –The Mac-only platform and lack of plugins, backlinks, or broader knowledge-management features limit its audience.
