IMO, it is a better markserv [0] that supports more features I needed for my workflow with markdown and general dir browsing:
- Math heavy note. - Tech design docs with heavy mermaid diagrams. - Code file, images, preview. Last time I used markserv, when browsing into an unsupported text files, it is downloaded. dirsv will render the file with syntax highlighting.
I also built the companion nvim for this: https://github.com/letientai299/dirsv.nvim
Compare to my last Show HN sharing, many bugs was fixed, and a few changes was made:
- Sync scroll, cursorline and visual selection between nvim plugin can the previewer. - Change default port ranges to 3579+, to avoid conflict with many other tools that like to use 8xxx range.
Disclaimer: this was built with claude code, and, I do code review seriously to make sure I can still work on it without any AI tools.
