Even long Markdown docs can be read with ease.

wowMD is a lightweight Chrome extension that turns long, complex GitHub Markdown pages into structured documents with an outline, section folding, and clean rendering. It appears only when you really need it, focused entirely on improving your reading experience.

Every feature exists to improve your reading experience.

Outline first

Open with document structure before jumping into the full text.

Section folding

Collapse large H2 sections independently when a document gets long.

Code rendering

Keep code blocks readable with clean spacing and highlighting.

Table scrolling

Wide tables scroll sideways instead of breaking the reader layout.

Smart appearance

Stay out of the way on short README files and simple pages.

Clean rendering

Fix common relative image paths and sanitize rendered Markdown.

A tool with boundaries is a focused tool.
