Since I started using terminal coding agents, I’ve wanted to stay in the terminal for everything. But even reading or previewing a README meant opening an IDE or browser. I tried a few terminal Markdown previewers, but none felt right. The output still looked more like Markdown syntax than a formatted document. That got me thinking: why not build one that previews Markdown right in the terminal, the way an IDE or browser does?

I assume from the name that Shine is inspired by [Glow](https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow), how is this different?
