Question 1

What makes Ohai different from VS Code's markdown preview?

Accepted Answer

Ohai offers live transclusion (embed files with ![[file.md]]), supports Vim's atomic saves, handles 500KB+ documents with virtualized scrolling, and is a native macOS app with superior performance. It's purpose-built for reading markdown, not editing.

Question 2

Can I use Ohai with Claude Code or other AI coding assistants?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This is a primary use case. Open a markdown file that your AI assistant is writing to, and watch it update in real-time. Task lists check off as work completes, tables populate, and code blocks appear live.

Question 3

Does Ohai work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely. The only network access is for fetching remote images embedded in your markdown files. Your local files are never uploaded anywhere.

Question 4

What is transclusion?

Accepted Answer

Transclusion lets you embed one file inside another using ![[filename.md]] syntax. When the embedded file changes, your document updates automatically. Perfect for keeping API documentation in sync with source code.
