(I'd have opened a Discussions thread for this if that feature would be enabled. Sorry if this is not a good place for such show and tell announcements.)

Something curious you might like: In our Lombiq Node.js Extensions project we've added Markdown linting, utilizing markdownlint too, in a way that it automatically runs as part of an MSBuild build process. This means that for .NET projects, lining for Markdown files happens automatically, as part of the normal build, and you get linter errors as build errors. This is how .NET static code analysis works as well, so this way, Markdown linting fits seamlessly into the .NET developer experience. See docs here.

What do you think?

This sounds awesome! If you want to send a PR to add a link to the "Related "section of the README, that may help spread the word. (Please have a look at CONTRIBUTING.md before doing so.)
