A telegra.ph alternative with code, math, and memory

telegra.ph proved the idea: no account, no ceremony, just a page. We kept the idea and gave it a toolbox.

# The same instant ritual

telegra.ph got the important thing right — publishing should be as fast as writing. lucid.page keeps that ritual intact: paste your Markdown, press publish, and the link is live. No account, no setup, unlisted by default.

# Built for technical text

Where telegra.ph handles prose, technical writing asks more of a page. Fenced code blocks render with real syntax highlighting and a copy button. TeX math — inline like $O(n \log n)$, or displayed — is set with KaTeX. Mermaid fences become diagrams. Tables stay tables. If your page explains something with code in it, this is the difference between a screenshot of a terminal and a document.

# A page that remembers

A telegra.ph post is effectively write-once: anonymous posts can be edited only from the browser that created them, or through the API account token, and there is no revision history to fall back on. lucid.page keeps every update as a restorable revision at the same URL, lets you set an expiry for time-boxed pages, and keeps the Markdown source one request away at /raw/. There is also an API and an MCP server, so pages can be published from CI or by agents — the agent documentation covers that side.

# Common questions

# Is lucid.page anonymous like telegra.ph?

Yes — publishing requires no account, and anonymous pages are unlisted by default. You get a claim token to manage the page later; an account is optional.

# What does telegra.ph do better?

Deep Telegram integration and utter minimalism. If your audience lives in Telegram and your text is pure prose, telegra.ph is hard to beat.

# Can I edit a page after publishing?

Yes. Updates keep the URL, and every previous version is stored as a revision you can restore.
