Would you use it: A markdown hosting service
Hey Fellow Hackers
I wanted to ask your opinion on this idea that keeps coming back to me every day. Basically a site to host your markdown files
What you guys think? I don't know if there is a market for this but thought I'd ask here 🤷🏾♂️
Good idea, but honestly this is what I’d use Github for.
Interesting if I can retrieve the .md from an API. That way it becomes a content management for my blog. haha. Right now I'm storing the .md within the source code pushed to Github.
In addition, would also be interesting if I can copy and paste images into the editor. You can either host the images for me and paste the resulting URL into my .md, or let me add my own Cloudinary account to use.
I didn't think about that! A CMS powered by md files!
github.io has some of this functionality.
I've thought about this. I write two or three 2,000 to 3,000 word markdown files a week (sermons for my church), but so far I'm pretty happy just storing them on dropbox. (you could host thousands of files on the free tier of dropbox).
One thing that would be useful to me is a service for preparing markdown files for print online, something similar to the combination of create-booklet and marked on my mac, but that would allow me to print booklets on windows or a chromebook.
I have never heard of Marked before, I don't even own a Mac to be honest but I will look it up !
