I can run the app OK, but on macOS Monterey 12.4 I had to do one of the non-obvious tricks to get it to run (right click on .app file and then Open ...). If Apple does its normal thing, then we at some future OS upgrade we can expect it to be blocked from running. Which would be a big shame!

One the latest macOS, running the app normally still yields the message:
“qlmarkdown” can’t be opened because apple cannot check it for malicious software.
The right-click / "Open" works fine, but this workaround is not obvious to many macOS users.
Perhaps a doc tip on main page please.

I have update the README.md with the workaround fix.

I too could not open the app after installation, due to a dialog saying This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.

I can confirm that Right-click / Ctrl-click suggestions for opening the QLMarkdown.app in the README Installation section resolved my issue.

Thanks @sbarex for this great utility and comprehensive documentation.
