Turn Markdown into a beautiful web page

You already wrote the words. lucid.page sets them in type and gives them a permanent link — paste, publish, done.

On this page

# The paste is the publish

Most publishing tools ask you to make decisions before you’ve written a word: pick a theme, name a project, configure a deploy. lucid.page asks for one thing — the text. Paste your Markdown into the editor, press publish, and the link is live. No account, no build step, no waiting.

An account exists for exactly one reason: to find your pages again later. Publishing itself is authless, because a draft you can’t share in ten seconds is a draft that stays in your notes app.

# Typeset, not templated

Pages are set in Sentient and Switzer, measured to a comfortable line length, with real italics, proper quotes, and code in Fragment Mono. Fenced blocks are highlighted by Shiki and carry their own copy button:

ts
export function greet(name: string): string {
  return `Hello, ${name}. You look typeset today.`;
}

Display math is rendered with KaTeX, and Mermaid fences become diagrams. Dark mode follows the reader’s system preference, or their own choice — it persists across every page they read.

Every page is unlisted by default: it reaches exactly the people you send it to, and no one else. Dropped into Slack, a chat, or a social feed, the link unfolds an auto-generated card with the title and a reading time.

Nothing is trapped, either. The raw Markdown lives at /raw/your-slug, every update is stored as a revision you can restore, and a page can carry an expiry date when it was only meant to be true for a while.

# Common questions

# Do I need an account to publish?

No. Paste your Markdown, press publish, and the link works. An account is only useful if you want a dashboard of everything you’ve published.

# Can I edit a page after it’s published?

Yes. Update the Markdown and publish again — the URL stays the same, and every previous version is kept as a revision you can restore.

# Which Markdown features are supported?

Tables, task lists, syntax-highlighted code fences, KaTeX math, and Mermaid diagrams. The same pipeline runs on every page.

Write it. Paste it. Send the link.
