I Built Imgur for Markdown

Hacker News

I’m the author of The Markdown Guide and I built JotBird: the simplest way to publish Markdown to a shareable URL. Paste or write Markdown, hit publish, get a link. No account required. That’s it. Think Imgur but for markdown. Instead of dragging an image and getting a URL, you paste markdown and get a noindex web page. It works from the web app, an Obsidian plugin, a CLI (`jotbird publish README.md`), and an API. Links last 30 days or 90 days with a free account, Pro ($29/year) makes them permanent.
