Thanks for this tool.

Start-up could be a little faster with some tweaks:

Option 1:

Print the full URL, so it can be easily copy/pasted from the terminal
Like downtown, if no file is specified, like markdown files in the current directory in the resulting web page, so one can quickly be selected.

Option 2, more automatic:

Allow a file name as an argument on the command line. If present, automatically load it in when the browser launches
Open the browser for the user using 'open $url' on Mac OS X and 'xdg-open $url' on Linux.

Actually, I just found 'moo.js' Are you aware of it? It already implements "option 2" and supports syntax highlighting as well. I'm switching to 'moo.js'. It could be worth adding to a "See Also" section.
