Score: 7.5/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 8, Documentation: 9, Utility: 7)

leaf is a terminal-based Markdown previewer that combines syntax highlighting, live watch mode, and a TUI with mouse/keyboard support to provide a GUI-like experience in the terminal. Its unique value lies in bridging the gap between lightweight CLI tools and full graphical editors, making it especially useful for developers and AI-assisted workflows who want to preview Markdown without leaving the terminal.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, data engineers
