Overview
- At start up, Shiba is watching the current working directory (the path is in title of window).
- When you edit the markdown file in current working directory, Shiba finds the update, renders the file in window and sets the result of lint.
- You can see the result of lint by clicking the '!' button in menu. When the button is red, it means that linter reported some errors.
- You can change the watching directory/file using 'directory' button in menu or dropping file to window.
- You can quit app by closing the window.
This is the simplest use case. Please see usage document for more detail.
