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. Point it at a Markdown folder and get a URL.

Full Obsidian syntax: wiki links, callouts, graph view, frontmatter

GFM, Mermaid, LaTeX: diagrams and math render natively

Themes via Tailwind & CSS variables: Tailwind out of the box. Customize without a build step

Supports HTML: use HTML, images etc.

~7k Obsidian plugin installs, 1,400 users, 1,100 sites. Free forever for personal use. Premium ($5/mo) adds custom domains, search, and password protection.

And it's open source: https://github.com/flowershow/flowershow
