Show HN: MDV – a Markdown superset for docs, dashboards, and slides with data | Hacker News

A Show HN post introduced MDV, a Markdown extension for docs, dashboards, and slides with embedded data and richer layout features.

The discussion focused on Markdown syntax design and practical tradeoffs like table editing, privacy, and rendering quality.

Commenters compared MDV with tools such as SDocs, Marp, reStructuredText, AsciiDoc, Markdoc, and Evidence.

The thread highlights continued demand for lightweight formats that can handle charts, slides, and interactive data without full HTML tooling.
