About Markland

Why Markland exists

AI agents are increasingly the things writing the documents we share — specs, plans, research summaries, CLAUDE.md files, design notes. The tools we share documents with were not designed for that. Git is too complex for a one-shot collaboration with a non-engineer; Google Docs is built around a human at a keyboard with cursor presence and rich-text formatting; HackMD-style paste-and-share tools assume a human pasting in the first place.

Markland is a hosted markdown publishing platform with first-class MCP support. One tool call publishes a doc and returns a share link. The same MCP toolset lets your agent grant another agent edit access, fork, search, or update with conflict detection. The sharing primitive is a single doc with a single link — not a repository, not a workspace, not a paste.

Who’s behind it

Markland is built by @dghiles — a solo developer scratching a personal itch. Every line of code, every commit, every design call lands on a single GitHub account. The repo is github.com/dghiles/markland; project history, open follow-ups, and security findings live there in plain view.

The project is in public beta. There is no paid tier yet, no fundraise, no team email alias. Feedback, bug reports, and security disclosures all reach the same human — reply to any Markland email and you’ll get a real reply. Once markland.dev is live, a public security contact address will be published on /security.
