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 famously write-once: whoever holds the edit link can change it, and for everyone else it is a fossil. 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.
