Feature Request - using README.md in folders to describe it content as in GitHub

In each folder user can create README.md and put info about folders and files in it with links.
This info can appear in additional panel or replace the main panel with files’ icons.
Now I’ve found only similar question: software recommendation - Is there a file manager that opens readme files? - Ask Ubuntu

I use Joplin to make similar thing: all files about one project lies in one folder and in Joplin note I describe that project info (incl. what means some files) and make direct links to most useful files and main directory. So, most of time, I open needed files directly by clicking in Joplin.

Rendering Markdown would require linking against WebKitGTK (I assume), which would be unnecessary overhead?

Thanks, if it is problem, may be some simple version? In case of additional panel links can be not necessary: files at left panel + info and files’ description at right

This sounds like something an extension could provide, but is definitely out of scope of what nautilus default experience wants to achieve.

seems like you are right )
