FolderMd – Markdown reader for coding agents

Turn endless agent terminal output into a navigable Markdown workspace

Problem
When a dozen coding agents run in parallel, each spews walls of suggestions, comments, and reasoning into an 88-column terminal. It all scrolls away the moment you run the next command, so nothing can be reviewed, compared, or reused. Developers are left scrolling and losing context.
Solution
A local-first Markdown workbench: agents write .md files into a watched folder via a simple convention or CLI; the app incrementally renders them, indexes content, and lets you search, group by agent/session, cite anchors, and diff revisions — all offline.
Users
Heavy developers running multiple coding agents, indie hackers, and tech leads who review agent output
MVP
Watch a folder and render Markdown in real time; auto-group by agent/session/time with sidebar navigation; full-text search and keyword highlighting; one-click copy of any conclusion to feed back as a prompt; purely local files, no server or account
Revenue
Free core plus one-time purchase Pro (multiple workspaces, PDF/HTML export, history archive); later a team subscription for shareable review links.
Why now
Parallel coding agents now produce far more text than a terminal can handle, and terminals were never built for long-form reading. Indie devs can scratch their own itch and ship fast.
