# Quietdocs — Share Markdown (.md) files privately, with working links

> Send `.md` files to reviewers behind a password. A clean reader that keeps your relative links, images and code blocks intact. No GitHub, no PR, no account for reviewers.

Quietdocs is a private Markdown reader for technical teams and individuals who want to share a draft document — a README, spec, RFC, handbook chapter, changelog or docs site — with a small group of readers, without forcing them through a GitHub repo, a Notion workspace, or a Google Docs paste.

## Who Quietdocs is for

- **Developers** sending a README, technical spec, or RFC draft to a client or teammate before opening a pull request.
- **Technical writers** sharing handbook drafts or new documentation pages with stakeholders before publishing.
- **Indie founders** sending pitch documents, briefs, or product changelogs to advisors, customers or beta users.
- **Open-source maintainers** who want to share a doc preview without making it a public Gist or branch.

## How Quietdocs works

1. **Drop a folder of `.md` files.** Drag a folder of Markdown files and the images they reference. Internal/relative links between files resolve correctly inside the reader.
2. **Set a password.** Create as many share links as you need — one per reviewer or team. Revoke or rotate any link at any time.
3. **Send the private link.** Reviewers open a clean reader, type the password, and read your docs on any device. No account, no install, no GitHub.

## What people use Quietdocs for

- **Send a README draft for review.** Share an early README with a client or teammate before opening a PR. Internal links and badges keep working.
- **Share a spec or RFC privately.** Hand a small group of reviewers a focused, password-protected link instead of a noisy doc thread.
- **Preview a docs site before publishing.** Drop your `/docs` folder and walk a reviewer through the tree exactly as it'll read once it ships.
- **Send release notes or a changelog.** Give beta testers a clean, distraction-free changelog link — no GitHub account required.

## Why Quietdocs vs the alternatives

- **vs GitHub Gist** — Gists are public by default, have ugly URLs, and relative links between files don't really work. Quietdocs is private by default and treats your folder as a single doc set.
- **vs Notion / Google Docs** — Forces a paste, mangles code blocks, and loses your file structure. Quietdocs renders your Markdown as-is — fenced code, tables, headings and all.
- **vs a private GitHub repo** — Reviewers need an account and have to navigate a repo. Quietdocs gives them one link and a password — they're reading in seconds.
- **vs pasting into Slack** — Long Markdown becomes a mess in chat and gets buried. Quietdocs gives you a permanent, revocable link you can re-share.

## Frequently asked questions

**Does Quietdocs keep relative links between my `.md` files?**
Yes. Upload a folder of Markdown files and links between them resolve correctly inside the reader, just like they would in a repo.

**Will images in my Markdown render?**
Yes. Drop the images alongside your `.md` files and they render inline in the shared reader.

**Is the share link really private?**
Every share link is gated by a password you set. Links are not indexed and you can revoke them at any time.

**Do reviewers need to create an account?**
No. Reviewers just open the link, type the password and read. No GitHub, no signup, no install.

**Are code blocks and tables supported?**
Yes. Fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting, tables, lists and blockquotes all render with sensible defaults.

**Can I revoke a share link?**
Yes. From your dashboard you can revoke or rotate any share link instantly.
