I wanted to publish one Markdown file, not start a project

Most publishing tools assume you’re building something permanent.

But a lot of writing doesn’t look like that.

Sometimes it’s a single Markdown file sitting on your machine. You’ve finished writing, and all you want is a link you can share.

We built a small CLI for that moment.

The Flowershow CLI lets you publish directly from your terminal — without setting up a repo or clicking through a dashboard.

Quick start

npm i -g @flowershow/publish
publish auth login
publish ./my-folder
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Done! You'll get a ready to share URL!

If you make changes later:

publish sync ./my-folder
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This doesn’t replace UI-based workflows. It’s for people who already live in their editor and terminal and want publishing to feel like part of the same flow.

It’s currently in beta and requires Node.js.
Docs cover the details, or you can explore via publish --help.
