A hosted collaborative document workspace built around Markdown.

Display

Publish a Markdown file as a shareable, editable web page.

Display turns a Markdown or HTML file into a hosted page with a persistent link. Readers can comment, while permitted collaborators can propose visual or source edits and save a new version. Markdown pages support tables, task lists, math, and Mermaid diagrams. Public pages are available on the free plan; retained version history and higher sharing limits depend on the plan.
