Simply delightful Markdown reading.
Open a .md file and Filmbook gets out of the way. No edit mode to escape, no toolbar clutter — just your words, set in a typeface worth reading.
A reading app, not an editor
Most Markdown apps start as editors and bolt on a preview. Filmbook starts from the opposite end: it assumes the file is already finished, and its only job is to present it beautifully.
"Good typography is what makes a page disappear, so the reader is left alone with the words."
