# OpenView
A lightweight, high-performance file viewer for macOS, built with [Tauri 2](https://tauri.app/) + [Solid.js](https://www.solidjs.com/).
## Why OpenView?
In the age of AI-assisted coding, developers increasingly work alongside AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) that generate and modify code. The human role shifts from writing code to **reviewing AI output** — reading diffs, previewing rendered markdown, checking data files, and browsing project structure.
OpenView is purpose-built for this workflow: an ultra-lightweight, read-oriented viewer that lets you quickly preview and review AI-generated artifacts without the overhead of a full IDE. No plugins, no extensions, no configuration — just open a folder and start reviewing.
## Features
- **Markdown Viewer** — Split-pane viewer with live preview, GFM support (tables, strikethrough, tasklists), hover-to-expand
- **CSV Viewer** — Interactive table with sorting, filtering, and search across all cells
- **Mermaid Diagrams** — Live rendering with pan & zoom, error recovery
- **Git Integration** — Commit history, per-file diff viewer with unified/side-by-side modes
- **Project Switcher** — Quick switch between recent projects (remembers last 10)
- **File Search** — Recursive filename search across the entire project
## Install
Download the latest `.dmg` from [Releases](https://github.com/lijingcheng3359/openview/releases), open it and drag OpenView to Applications.
Since the app is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate, macOS will block it on first launch. Run this command to fix:
```bash
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenView.app
```
## Tech Stack
| Layer | Technology |
|-------|-----------|
| App Framework | Tauri 2 (Rust + system WebKit) |
| Frontend | Solid.js |

| Markdown | pulldown-cmark (Rust, SIMD) |
| CSV | csv crate (Rust) |
| Git | git2 (libgit2 bindings) |
| Diagrams | mermaid.js |
| Diff | diff2html |
## Performance
- ~7 MB binary, ~73 MB memory usage
- No bundled browser engine (uses system WebKit)
- Rust-powered file parsing with SIMD acceleration
