Live reload — write anywhere, read here
Save the file from any editor — VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, a build script. The rendered view updates in place; scroll position survives, no refresh button, no flash to blank.

Focus mode — dim everything but the current block
Press Ctrl+D. The block currently in your viewport stays at full contrast; everything else dims. Tracks where you're reading as you scroll through long specs.

Mermaid — zoom, fullscreen, export
Hover any diagram for inline zoom and pan controls. Double-click for fullscreen with mini-map. Export the rendered SVG to clipboard or disk — most viewers render Mermaid as a static blob, this one doesn't.

Frontmatter card — YAML metadata, on demand
Press Ctrl+Shift+M. YAML frontmatter is parsed out of the rendered prose and shown in a togglable metadata card. Read the document; check the meta when you need it.
