mark-36

Turn every new tab into your Markdown scratchpad.

This repo contains:

• A Chrome extension — replaces your new tab with a Markdown editor
• A CLI helper (mark-36) — opens local .md files directly in the extension

1) Install the Chrome Extension

Option A — Load from npm (recommended)

npm install -g mark-36

Then in Chrome:

1. Open chrome://extensions/
2. Enable Developer mode
3. Click Load unpacked
4. Select the folder printed by running:

   mark-36 --ext-path

5. Open a new tab ✓

Option B — Download from GitHub Releases

1. Go to Releases and download the latest dist.zip
2. Unzip it
3. Open chrome://extensions/
4. Enable Developer mode
5. Click Load unpacked → select the unzipped folder

2) Install and use the CLI (mark-36)

The CLI lets you open a local .md file directly in the extension from your terminal.
