Welcome to mdhost
mdhost is a simple Go web application for hosting and sharing markdown files.
Features
Create, edit, and view markdown files
Unique identifiers for each file (stable even after edits)
Syntax highlighting for code blocks in bash, go, python, and more
Responsive design - works on mobile and desktop
Nav bar with: home, list, add, edit
Quick Start
List files: Click "list" to see all markdown files
Add a file: Click "add" to create a new markdown file
Edit a file: Click "edit" to modify existing files, or use the [edit] link next to each file in the list
View a file: Click any file name in the list to view its rendered content
Markdown Tips
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
- List item
- Another item
code block
```bash
# Bash code with syntax highlighting
echo "Hello World"
```
