    I was recently researching apps like this for the usecase of writing devops&#x2F;tech-support &quot;playbooks&quot;, and also (related) &quot;runnable readmes&quot;. Among many approaches and attempts I found, I most liked the one taken by <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;runme.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;runme.dev, for a bunch of reasons. Did you try it? Do you (plan to) support their features and format? It was still missing a few things I&#x27;d like (including some that I see in yours), but to me it also has some advantages over yours - e.g.:

    - env vars parametrization;

    - a CLI tool with interactive or non-interactive interface (maybe you also have one? I didn&#x27;t check);

    - flags in fence-blocks rather than in frontmatter.

      Runme is great. One thing I required was mobile support which I didn&#x27;t see in Runme. I also thought the VS Code dependency was a bit heavy for me since I otherwise don&#x27;t use VS Code.

      - env vars parametrization: this is an issue I&#x27;ve hit myself and am looking to add a solution for it. Created an issue for it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ledgesh&#x2F;ledge&#x2F;issues&#x2F;9" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ledgesh&#x2F;ledge&#x2F;issues&#x2F;9

      - CLI: Ledge does have a CLI. One gap is it can&#x27;t run a code block from the CLI - another good item to add. Created as an issue: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ledgesh&#x2F;ledge&#x2F;issues&#x2F;10" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ledgesh&#x2F;ledge&#x2F;issues&#x2F;10

      - flags: you can add flags in the codeblock in Ledge (like confirm, norun, etc)

      Thanks for the great input!
