Prefer this fork only if Cog deployment is the main goal and you can live with an old upstream base. For active product use or ongoing development, upstream Marker is the safer default.
tjbck/marker
stale
significant_divergence
Prefer upstream unless you specifically need the 2024 snapshot. This fork does not add functionality, and its main tradeoff is staleness.
samuell/marker-fork
stale
significant_divergence
Prefer upstream unless you specifically need an old frozen snapshot. This fork adds no visible capabilities and is far behind current Marker, so it is a poor choice for new adoption.
maconprograms/marker
stale
significant_divergence
Choose this fork only if its deployment packaging matches your infrastructure needs. For most adopters, upstream is the safer default because this fork is very stale and likely missing recent Marker capabilities and fixes.
Lamatic/marker
stale
significant_divergence
Prefer upstream Marker unless you explicitly need this frozen snapshot. This fork adds no visible capabilities and is far behind upstream, so it is a poor choice for adopters who want current accuracy, bug fixes, or active maintenance.
sddai/markerPDF
stale
significant_divergence
Prefer upstream unless you specifically want a frozen, PDF-only snapshot and are prepared to own maintenance. This fork looks stale and materially behind the current Marker feature set.
lamm-mit/marker
stale
significant_divergence
Prefer upstream unless you specifically need this older snapshot; the fork adds no visible capabilities and is far behind current Marker.
kunal716/pdf-marker
stale
significant_divergence
Choose this fork only if the header-cleaning change is the exact behavior you need and you are prepared to own the maintenance burden. For most adopters, upstream Marker is the better default because this fork is stale and materially behind.
Choose this fork if your main need is smoother Windows installation and packaging. Stick with upstream if you want the broadest, most actively evolving base document-processing feature set and do not need the extra installer workflow.
This fork looks functionally equivalent to upstream with no visible feature additions and one upstream commit lag. Prefer upstream unless you specifically need this fork’s repository ownership or plan to maintain your own changes here.
