"I'm a developer and I'm working on a really complex JS library right now so I had to write a documentation, even for myself to be able to find any information about anything on my code really quickly and easily. I preferred to do it oin markdown since it's adapted to github's platform. I tried several and no other chrome extension for markdown readding is nearly as good as this. This is just perfect! Thank you people for bringing that to life!"
