    I'm Rufus, one of the founders of Flowershow. We love markdown and use it everywhere from making websites, to docs, to knowledgebases. Plus AI splits it everywhere now. Got tired of the framework/config/deploy overhead every time we wanted to share a file or put a site online. So we built the thing we wanted. Files in. Website out. "Vercel for Content" is our aspiration - make deploying (markdown) content as fast, seamless and easy as Vercel did for JS. Command line plus you can connect to github repos, use Obsidian via plugin, or drag and drop files. npm i -g…

    I got fed up with Notion, so I built my dream document editor. It's all markdowned so it's easy to view skills or other agent-related documents. It's got the collaboration features I love from Figma (shared cursory and the ability to follow) and Google Docs (comments, realtime editing). Then you can export the diff and comments to an agent. I've been really liking it for talking over skill documents live on a call. I'm curious if this resonates with other people. More generally, I feel like notion is less and less relevant in an age where documents have a very different purpose and Markdown…

    In my 15+ years as a developer, one of the most frustrating problems I've seen across teams is outdated documentation. I’ll be honest, I skip it myself. You ship a feature and move on. Then a month later, someone is onboarding or debugging and runs into stale docs that no longer reflect the code. I tried fixing this with tools like Swagger and Sphinx-autodoc, but they only work for narrow use cases like OpenAPI or annotations. They don’t help with the high-level stuff like onboarding tutorials, SDK guides, or user-facing examples. You still have to keep things like docstrings in sync, and…

    Hi HN, I’d like to introduce you to SmallDocs (https://sdocs.dev). SDocs is a CLI + webapp to instantly and 100% privately elegantly preview and share markdown files. (Code: https://github.com/espressoplease/SDocs) The more we work with command line based agents the more `.md` files are part of our daily lives. Their output is great for agents to produce, but a little bit frustrating for humans: Markdown files are slightly annoying to read/preview and fiddly to share/receive. SDocs was built to resolve these pain points. If you `sdoc…
