DocuGhost’s visual editor with headings, a checklist and a table; source changes are hidden for focused writing
A real editor. Your ordinary Markdown.
Visual Markdown editingMultiple repositories & foldersReview before you submitYour files stay Markdown

Less setup between you and a good sentence

Everything you need
to keep your docs moving.

From a quick correction to a new guide, work in an editor that feels familiar.

Write naturally.

Headings, lists, tables and code, right where you need them. Type Markdown shortcuts or use the toolbar.

Explore the editor

Keep your workflow.

Work across repositories and documentation folders. Save drafts, then send a pull request when you’re ready.

Make review easier.

Small edits target the original Markdown. Open the source diff when it helps, and hide it when you want to focus.

Understand your changes

A comfortable place to write

More writing.
Less in the way.

Start with a clean visual editor. Make a heading with # and Space. Add a checklist. Switch to Markdown source whenever you need the full picture.

Choose orange, pink or light blue accents. Keep the changes panel open—or give your words the extra room.

Care for the source

Change the sentence.
Keep the details.

Your repository already has its own formatting. DocuGhost aims to leave unrelated whitespace, frontmatter and code alone when you make a small edit.

Some structural edits need a larger change. Unsupported syntax stays protected, with source mode available when you need to edit it.

From repository to revision

Your next update, in three steps.

The GitHub workflow is available in the local preview. The browser demo lets you try editing and downloading Markdown.

  1. 01

    Bring your docs.

    Connect a repository and choose one or more documentation folders. Drop in new Markdown files when you need them.

  2. 02

    Make it clearer.

    Edit visually, use Markdown shortcuts, and paste or drop images into repository documents. Your draft stays local until you submit.

  3. 03

    Review. Then submit.

    Check the files and source changes. Create a pull request, or commit directly when that option is enabled.

Good questions

A few things
to know.

More detail in the documentation.

Can I try DocuGhost today?

Yes. The browser demo lets you open a UTF-8 Markdown file, edit it visually, and download a copy. It does not connect to GitHub or retain documents after you leave. The GitHub workspace currently runs as a local development preview; hosted accounts and paid plans are not available yet. See our Cloud and self-hosted launch plans.

Does it replace GitHub or my docs website?

No. DocuGhost is an editing layer for Markdown. GitHub remains the repository, and your existing publishing tools continue to publish your docs. Built-in website publishing is not included.

Do I have to look at a Git diff while I write?

No. The source changes panel starts hidden. Use Show changes or Hide changes to choose your layout; DocuGhost remembers the setting in your browser. The repository workflow still asks you to review before submitting to GitHub.

Will every Markdown file look exactly the same?

The goal is to preserve untouched source, not to render every Markdown extension. Common Markdown is editable visually. Unsupported blocks stay verbatim and can be edited in source mode. Complex structural edits may regenerate a small region or be blocked. Read the fidelity limits.

Can we use multiple repositories and folders?

The local workspace supports several repository connections and multiple folders in each connection. Folder scopes filter that connection’s documents; they are not per-user access controls. Team accounts and owner-managed permissions are still being built.

Can I run it on our own infrastructure?

Self-hosting is the intended direction. The current local build is for one operator and has no application sign-in. A supported production Docker installation is not available yet. Read about the current local setup.
