Tiny PDF, image and markdown viewer with one-second live reload
pdf-next opens PDFs, images and markdown, follows your system dark mode,
searches text, typesets TeX equations in markdown, and reloads within a
second of the file changing on disk — built for the LaTeX, Typst and
markdown compile loop. A command line opens a file at a page or at a
figure, so an editor or an agent can point you at the right place.
