The CMS is over.
You and your AI work in files now. Ask Claude, ChatGPT or your coding agent to publish them, and Flowershow turns your Markdown and HTML into a site on your domain, at the same URL every update. No database, no admin panel, no plugins.

Publishing should be a step, not a place.
Vercel made deploying a site one step. Publishing never got that, because publishing was a place: a CMS you log into, type into boxes and maintain. In 1985 PageMaker and the LaserWriter moved typesetting from the shop to the desk. The CMS is the web's typesetting shop: your words move into its database, behind its login.
Your files are already the finished format. Skip the shop.
Markdown, HTML and more, side by side.
Mix them in one folder and publish. You get a real website, not a file link.

Markdown
.md and .mdx files become pages with your site's theme and navigation, plus wikilinks, Mermaid and math.
HTML
.html files are served exactly as written. Scripts run, and relative links to CSS, JavaScript, data and images work.
Data, images, PDFs
.json, .csv, images and PDFs are served as files at their own URLs, so your pages can load and link to them.
Obsidian Canvas & Bases
.canvas files become diagram pages, and Bases render as tables, cards and lists.

Is this only for AI-made content?
No. The files can be yours, your AI's, or written together. Flowershow publishes files, wherever they came from. If you already publish from Obsidian or GitHub, nothing changes for you.
Is it really free?
Yes. The free plan lets you publish one site on a flowershow.app subdomain — no time limit, no credit card, just a small "Built with Flowershow" footer. Premium plans start at $5/month and unlock custom domains, full-text search, and more. See pricing →
What can I publish?
Markdown and MDX become pages with your site's theme and navigation. HTML files are published as-is, with their CSS, JavaScript, data and images. Obsidian Canvas and Bases work too, all in one folder. See supported file types →
What if I want to move away from Flowershow?
Just take your files. They're plain Markdown and HTML, with no proprietary format and no lock-in.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Premium, along with a custom favicon and social image. See pricing →
