Run glow in the browser

Render Markdown documents as styled terminal output.

Caution · No live sample on this page: On NanoVM v0.2.1 the Go runtime fails to start: with the default 512 MB guest it aborts with fatal error: failed to reserve page summary memory, and with the 1.8 GB guest it did not finish starting within the sample's instruction budget — so even glow --version cannot run in the browser yet. The package installs and verifies; it is listed so the page is ready once Go binaries are supported.

What it is

glow formats Markdown for the terminal: headings, lists, tables, code blocks and links come out styled and word-wrapped. It can also browse a directory of Markdown files.

Install and run it from your page

With the SDK, installApp resolves glow in the signed index, fetches its content-addressed chunks from the CDN, verifies each one and writes the files into the VM. Details in Installing catalog apps.

javascript

import { createNano } from "@userland-run/nano-sdk";

const nano = await createNano({ image: { wasm: "/nano/console.wasm" } });
await nano.installApp("glow"); // signature-verified, cached in OPFS
// Installs and verifies today; see the note at the top of this page before running it.
