alt Hacker NewsShow HN: mdto.page – Turn Markdown into a shareable webpage instantly
Hi HN
I built mdto.page because I often needed a quick way to share Markdown notes or documentation as a proper webpage, without setting up a GitHub repo or configuring a static site generator.
I wanted something dead simple: upload Markdown -> get a shareable public URL.
Key features:
Instant Publishing: No login or setup required.
Flexible Expiration: You can set links to expire automatically after 1 day, 7 days, 2 weeks, or 30 days. Great for temporary sharing.
It's free to use. I’d love to hear your feedback!

In https://mdview.io/ I implemented sharing via url encoding so no server is needed, thou big files are not supported because of the url length limitation
I use a self hosted HedgeDoc with Fail2Ban to deal with this. A cheap VPS + Coolify makes life so much better.
Separately, be cautious of people putting illegal content on your platform.
Hi,
First thing that came to my mind: how do I "curl" a md to it?
But then, I don't know how you intend to manage spam/abuse
I like the idea and expiration dates. Got any example pages using either theme?
I'm guessing it doesn't handle images because you'd have to upload the image, right? I tried one in this format:  with no luck. (Update: it works with URL links)
