Hahaha, I know, right? Someone might seriously float this argument.
Gee, here's a Markdown file on my computer that I'd like to read (formatted as intended). Since I don't have a lightweight reader for Markdown, let me just...
1. Open it up in a text editor
2. Launch a browser
3. Navigate to some page that allows Markdown comments.
4. Log in to comment.
5. Find something to comment on.
6. Create and paste into a comment.
7. Post the comment.
8. Read.
SO EASY!
Seems like a lot of steps when you could just double click the file.
If you're on Windows it'll open in notepad.exe which is a markdown viewer.
On most flavors of Linux it'll open in a markdown viewer.
That leaves Apple and Android which I don't think have built in markdown viewers. But you can just install an app.
