I’m a little late with this one, but I wanted to congratulate my friend Brett Terpstra on the release of Conductor. This new command line utility is an add-on for Brett’s successful Marked app. As the name implies, this utility acts as a train conductor for Marked 2, allowing you to set up and run custom processors to make Marked 2 even more powerful and automation-friendly.
Brett goes deeper into Conductor in this post. He even added some functionality a few days ago.
My pal Brett Terpstra recently released Marked, version 2.5. If you’re not familiar with Marked, it’s a native macOS app for previewing Markdown and other text markup languages, as well as HTML and OPML files. With Marked, you can see rendered, styled versions before publishing. Marked 2 updates with changes whenever you save using the text editor of your choice. In combination with your favorite Markdown editor (or any text editor), Marked 2 is an excellent writing tool, particularly if you write in Markdown.
There’s a bunch of new features with the new version including support for a pile of new applications (including Scrivener 3). Spelling and grammar check is also now included for all users. (It no longer requires an in-app purchase.)

My favorite feature, however, is the Edward Tufte inspired preview style: Ink. Of course, Brett would include a Tufte-inspired theme and of course it is gorgeous.
You can buy Marked directly from Brett or, if you are a SetApp subscriber, you already have access to it.
