WriteFreely
A clean, Markdown-based publishing platform made for writers. Write together and build a community.
When looking for something more dynamic, I initially though about using Plume, since it's easy to integrate with some applications I plan to deploy later, but unfortunately it's not well maintained anymore. As Ghost or Wordpress seem overkill, I ended up opting for the conveniences of WriteFreely: it lets me create and edit posts in-place, with Markdown support and no need to upload new files. However, that comes with a cost: it requires a MySQL[-compatible] database

Project mention: Show HN: Outerbase Studio – Open-Source Database GUI | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-04
Two more tools I really enjoy:
- https://www.beekeeperstudio.io/ - electron based and I find it really simple to use.
- https://github.com/k1LoW/tbls - generate markdown docs from databases (similar to DbVisualizer, but it's a static binary and you can just push the md files - see https://github.com/bbkane/envelope/tree/master/dbdoc for example)

html-to-markdown
⚙️ Convert HTML to Markdown. Even works with entire websites and can be extended through rules.
Project mention: Show HN: We made an MCP Server so that Cursor can build anything from API Docs | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-24I'm frequently constructing context based on up-to-date docs using curl + html2markdown[0] and custom css selectors, which is extremely tedious. MCP servers for docs would be very useful for me.
That said, I don't really expect the AI itself to come up with docs to read (maybe some day). I want it predominantly so I can manually reference it in my prompt (in e.g. the Zed assistant panel) like `/npmdocs packagename packageversion`.
But even for AI "self-driven" use-cases, I primarily see the value in read-only MCP servers that provide more context, just in an "as-needed" way, instead of me putting it there explicitly.
