Publish Markdown as a Website
Flowershow is a hosted publishing tool that turns Markdown into websites for blogs, documentation sites, knowledge bases, wikis, and Obsidian vaults. The product is designed to take content from a file, folder, GitHub repo, Obsidian vault, or terminal workflow and publish it to a live URL with little setup.
It supports CommonMark, GitHub Flavored Markdown, Obsidian syntax, Mermaid diagrams, and LaTeX math, with docs that also describe Markdown and MDX rendering modes. Site owners can use official themes, add custom styling, connect a custom domain on Premium, and keep content in plain markdown files so it remains portable.
Features
Folder-based site structure
Folders of markdown become structured multi-page sites, which makes it suitable for notes, docs, and knowledge bases instead of only single-page content.
Markdown-native authoring
Support includes CommonMark, GitHub Flavored Markdown, Obsidian wiki links, Mermaid diagrams, and LaTeX math, with docs also covering Markdown and MDX rendering modes.
Multiple publishing workflows
Sites are hosted for you, so there are no servers or deployment tools to manage. The docs and pricing page both describe automatic publishing from GitHub, the terminal, or the Obsidian plugin.
Theming and customization
Themes can be selected from the dashboard or configured in `config.json`, and further styling is available through custom CSS and Tailwind.
Paid-site upgrades
Premium adds custom domains, removed branding, custom favicon and social images, full-text search, and priority support.
Site-building blocks
The docs include built-in support for page authors, hero sections, comments, forms, SEO metadata, RSS feeds, redirects, and content filtering.
Use Cases
Blog publishing
Publish a personal blog or small site from markdown files and use themes, authors, comments, and search features to shape the experience.
Docs and internal knowledge bases
Turn a folder of notes into a navigable knowledge base or documentation site with sidebar navigation, table of contents, redirects, and RSS.
Obsidian vault publishing
Publish an Obsidian vault directly to the web while keeping wikilinks, graph-related workflows, and markdown-based editing intact.
Automated publishing
Automate publishing from scripts, cron jobs, AI agents, or terminal workflows when content is produced outside a browser-based editor.
