# Markdown Viewer vs YesWheel

> Markdown Viewer is the better fit for developers, technical writers and teams who read Markdown in repositories or doc folders and need comments or Word and PDF export. It works only in Chrome and Edge. YesWheel fits quick, low-stakes picks, tie-breaks and games with friends, in any browser, with no sign-up. It is not meant for important decisions.

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 Markdown Viewer is for

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.

## Who YesWheel is for

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.
