An open-source markdown sync site for developers and AI agents. Publish from the terminal with npm run sync. Write locally, sync instantly with real-time updates. Powered by Convex and Netlify.

What makes it a dev sync system

File-based content. All posts and pages live in content/blog/ and content/pages/ as markdown files with frontmatter. No database UI. No admin panel. Just files in your repo.

CLI publishing workflow. Write markdown locally, then run npm run sync (dev) or npm run sync:prod (production). Content appears instantly via Convex real-time sync.

Version controlled. Markdown source files live in your repo alongside code. Commit changes, review diffs, roll back like any codebase. The sync command pushes content to the database.

# Edit a post, then commit and sync
git add content/blog/my-post.md
git commit -m "Update intro paragraph"
npm run sync        # dev
npm run sync:prod   # production

No admin interface. No web UI for creating or editing content. You use your code editor and terminal.

The real-time twist

What separates this from a static site generator is the Convex real-time database. Once you sync content:

  • All connected browsers update immediately
  • No rebuild or redeploy needed
  • Search, stats, and RSS update automatically

It's a hybrid: developer workflow for publishing + real-time delivery like a dynamic CMS.
