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 @flowershow/publish publish ./my-notes # → https://your-site.flowershow.app live in seconds Flowershow is fully hosted — no server, no build pipeline, no CI/CD.
