● Notes from the press
Frequently asked.
- How do I share a markdown file as a link?
- Paste your markdown into DocHouse, pick a reading theme, and click Publish & get link. You get a public URL with a slug from your title. No static site, no repo, no Gist.
- What's the difference between DocHouse and a GitHub Gist?
- A Gist renders your markdown inside the GitHub code-viewer. DocHouse renders it as a normal web page with Shiki-highlighted code, readable typography, and a clean URL based on your title.
- Do I need an account to publish?
- No account is needed to write or preview. You only sign in with Google at the exact moment you click Publish & get link, so we can attach the post to you and let you edit, delete, or track views later.
- Is DocHouse a good HackMD or Telegraph alternative?
- Yes. HackMD asks you to sign up before you can do anything; Telegraph is plain and has no code highlighting. DocHouse lets you start instantly, ships three reading themes (Paper, Ink, Console), and highlights code with Shiki by default.
- Can I publish a long README or a technical doc?
- Yes. Pick the Console theme for changelogs, READMEs, and developer docs. It uses a monospace font and works well for code-heavy writing. Tables, fenced code, GitHub-flavored markdown, and footnotes all render correctly.
