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.
