Hyperdraft

Hyperdraft is single-purpose: it publishes plain Markdown with wiki-style backlinks to a public URL with no theming, no databases, and no chrome. Notion Sites publishes a Notion workspace — heavier UI, paid subdomain, and Notion-flavored markup. Logseq Publish exports a full graph but requires you to build and deploy the static site yourself. Hyperdraft hits a niche between "raw Markdown gist" and "full Notion site" — minimalist personal wikis, public reading lists, and digital gardens.

The Hyperdraft PWA itself is free to install and use. Publishing to a Hyperdraft-hosted URL is free for personal use with reasonable limits. Custom-domain hosting and higher publishing tiers are available via the maintainer (Rosano Coutinho) at modest prices — typically a few dollars per month — comparable to a small Netlify hobby plan. There is no enterprise tier; it is a personal-tool subscription.

Eleventy gives you full control over templates, themes, and deploy pipeline — but requires Node.js, a Git host, and CI/CD knowledge. Hyperdraft strips that away: write Markdown in the browser, click publish, done. You lose theme customization and the ability to add custom HTML; you gain a 30-second setup and zero infrastructure. For technical users who want a polished portfolio, Eleventy wins. For digital gardeners who just want a public Markdown brain dump, Hyperdraft wins on time-to-publish.

Yes — Hyperdraft is a Progressive Web App that stores drafts locally in IndexedDB. You can write, edit, and organize content fully offline; publishing to the public URL requires a network connection. The author has emphasized local-first principles, so your notes remain accessible even if the Hyperdraft service shuts down — you can export them to plain Markdown files at any time.

Hyperdraft is used by indie creators, digital gardeners, and writers who want a public personal wiki without running their own infrastructure. The author Rosano Coutinho also maintains other PWAs in the same family (Stacks, Strata) targeting the same audience. It is not enterprise software and does not aim to be — the typical user has a handful of public pages and writes a few times a week.
