Show HN: Mdc – just another Markdown viewer with ToC and CLI support

2 zoetin45 0 6/15/2025, 6:55:34 AM github.com ↗

I built mdc, a lightweight desktop Markdown viewer with auto-generated table of contents, in just 2 days using Claude Code.

What it does: - Clean, responsive Markdown rendering - Automatically generates table of contents from document headers - Simple file selection interface - Built with Tauri (React + Rust)

Claude Code experience:

  What impressed me most was how Claude Code handled the full-stack development. It took only 2 days from starting the project to release. I have bunch of experience of TypeScript/React, but nothing of Tauri/Rust.

  It seemed Claude isn't good at Tauri either but "Think deeply" prompt worked in terms of solving issues. 

  The development flow was remarkably fast:
  - Day 1: All the app features
  - Day 2: Release automation with github actions

Installation: brew tap zoetin45/tap brew install mdc

  Or grab binaries from: https://github.com/zoetin45/mdc

  Tech stack: Tauri + React + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS

I'm curious about others' experiences with AI-assisted development - has anyone else tried building desktop apps this way?
