Blog posts from markdown files
Write in your editor. Publish to a clean URL. No CMS, no platform lock-in, no reader accounts required.
The problem with blog platforms
Most blogging platforms want you to write in their editor. Your content lives on their servers, formatted their way. If the platform shuts down or changes pricing, you scramble to export.
You already write in markdown. Your posts sit in a folder on your machine, version-controlled in Git. Why copy-paste them into a web form? Why maintain a static site generator config just to get words on a page?
MDtoLink takes the file you already have and gives it a URL. That's the whole workflow.
How it works
1. Write your post in any editor
# My Blog Post
Some thoughts on building software.
```js
const x = 42;
```VS Code, Vim, Obsidian, iA Writer, whatever you prefer. It's a markdown file.
2. Publish with one command
mdtolink publish my-post.md --slug my-postYour post is live. The slug becomes part of the URL, so pick something readable.
3. Share the link
https://mdtolink.com/@yourhandle/my-postReaders see a clean, rendered page. No sign-up wall. No cookie banners.
