What is it?

Flowershow is a publishing platform for turning Markdown files into websites for documentation, knowledge bases, wikis and digital gardens. Users can publish by dragging files into the web app, through an Obsidian plugin, from a GitHub repository, or with the `fl` command-line tool.

The `fl` CLI is a single Go binary that publishes a folder or file with `fl login` and `fl ./my-notes`. It is also intended as the interface for AI agents such as Claude, ChatGPT, Codex and Cursor to publish content. The web app is built with Next.js and TypeScript, and the monorepo includes a REST API contract with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec, a Cloudflare worker for Markdown processing, and a remark plugin for wiki-style links.

The project is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and is developed by Datopian. Running it from source requires Node.js 22+, pnpm and Docker, and the local stack includes Postgres, MinIO and Inngest.
