Would be a five-star-app but it doesn't work with local files. It worked previously but now it throws a CORS-related exception.

I tried many different markdown viewers, and this is the best, hands down. The wysiwyg editor is also very nice.

I love the extension. IMHO this is the best markdown viewer out there. My only request is that the file extension could be customized: i.e. I view markdown files in a variety of file extensions like .vimwiki)
