Client reports at a URL, not in an inbox
Publish status reports and deliverables to branded URLs. More professional than email attachments. Easier to update.
The attachment version problem
Consultants and freelancers send reports as email attachments. The client saves version 1. You send version 2. They open version 1 from their downloads folder. Now you're both looking at different documents in the same meeting.
PDF attachments can't be updated after sending. If you find a typo or need to add a section, you send another email with another attachment. The client's inbox fills up with "report-final.pdf", "report-final-v2.pdf", "report-FINAL-final.pdf".
A URL always shows the latest version. You send one link. You update the content behind it. The client always sees the current report.
How it works
1. Write the report in markdown
# Q1 Status Report - Acme Corp
## Summary
- Completed: Auth system migration, API rate limiting
- In progress: Dashboard redesign (70% done)
- Blocked: SSO integration (waiting on IdP credentials)
## Hours
| Week | Hours | Focus Area |
|------|-------|------------|
| Jan 6 | 32 | Auth migration |
| Jan 13 | 28 | API rate limiting |
| Jan 20 | 35 | Dashboard redesign |
## Next Steps
1. Finish dashboard components by Feb 3
2. Begin SSO integration once credentials arrive
3. Schedule demo for Feb 10 Tables, headings, lists, code blocks. Markdown handles it all.
2. Publish with a clean slug
mdtolink publish report-q1.md --slug q1-report The report is live. One URL, always current.
3. Share with the client
# Standard URL
https://mdtolink.com/@yourhandle/q1-report
# With custom domain (Publisher plan)
https://reports.yourconsultancy.com/q1-report Send the link in an email. The client bookmarks it. When you update the report, the same link shows the new content.

Client doesn't need an account
