Docsify‑This

Instant

Docsify‑This is a free, open-source web app that transforms online Markdown files into styled, responsive web pages – with no webserver setup, build process, or technical knowledge required. Just provide a public Markdown file URL to instantly publish and share styled content.

It gives your Markdown content a clean, professional home on the web – ready to share as a standalone page or embed into almost any platform. Content stays in the Markdown files you already have, wherever they are hosted. Named a finalist in the Open Infrastructure category for the 2024 Open Education Awards for Excellence.


Who It’s For

  • Educators sharing course materials, OER, and resources across platforms
  • Instructors and students wanting course materials on GitHub or Codeberg to be easier to read on any device
  • Writers and publishers wanting frictionless Markdown web publishing
  • Teams maintaining documentation in GitHub or Codeberg repositories
  • People wanting existing GitHub or Codeberg README files to be easier to read and share
  • Anyone who wants to share content without platform lock-in

Built for Publishing and Sharing

Instant styled web pages from your Markdown files – wherever they are hosted and wherever you want to share them.

  • Instant publishing – paste a Markdown file URL and get a styled, shareable web page in seconds
  • Single pages or full sites – publish one standalone page or an entire multi-page course or documentation site
  • Point-and-click styling – the Web Page Builder lets you customize fonts, colors, and layout without touching code
  • Styled URLs are shareable – your appearance choices are encoded in the URL, so sharing the link shares the styled experience
  • Embeds anywhere – publish standalone pages or embed content into Canvas, Moodle, WordPress, or almost any platform
  • Edit in place – update your Markdown source files and changes go live shortly after saving
  • Open by default (you control it) – free, open-source, and your content always stays in Markdown files you own and control
