client-side

Markdown Viewer and YesWheel are both free productivity tools, but they solve very different problems. One is for reading documents. The other is for settling small choices.

Markdown Viewer is a Chrome and Edge extension for local and web .md files. It adds a folder tree, a searchable outline, annotations, rendered diagrams and math, and exports to HTML, Word or PDF. YesWheel is a browser spinner that gives a random 50/50 answer, with a custom wheel for more options and no account.

Who it is for

Markdown Viewer
Suited to developers, technical writers and project teams who keep .md files in repositories, project folders or documentation sites and want to read them in the browser. It fits people who need annotated reading or exports to Word and PDF. It runs only in Chrome and Edge, so users of other browsers are not covered.
YesWheel
People who want a quick random answer for low-stakes choices, such as picking a recipe, breaking a tie between two fine options or keeping a game with friends moving. The site says it is not meant for important decisions, since a random result does not assess anyone's circumstances.

Highlights

Markdown Viewer
Browse folders and reopen recent Markdown documents. Navigate headings with a searchable outline. Search files and add highlights, underlines, and comments. Render diagrams, math, tables, and syntax-highlighted code. Export to HTML, Word, or print-ready PDF.
YesWheel
Wheel has four Yes and four No sections, each spin an independent 50/50. Uses the browser's Web Crypto random-number generator. No account or sign-up needed. Keeps the ten most recent spins on the page until refresh. Sound is off until the user turns it on. Separate custom wheel for more than two options.
