Changelog

Until this release, publishing without an account was a one-way door. Spot a typo a minute later and your only option was to publish again — a second link, a view count back at zero, and the first link still out there.

What changed

• Anonymous pages are editable. Publishing now gives you an edit link alongside the public one. Keep it and you can revise the page later; the public URL and its view count survive the edit.
• A page's name follows its content. Renaming your document used to have no effect after the first publish, because the title was pinned to whatever it was on day one. It now updates when you do.

Fixes worth naming

• Paid "remove branding" now actually removes the branding. If you paid for it, the banner was still rendering on the published page. It isn't anymore, and it stays gone across edits.
• The success card shows the plan you're actually on, instead of assuming free.
• The engagement goal on published pages is now reachable, and reaching it pays out what it promises.
• Fixed an out-of-memory condition in our edge worker that could take unrelated pages down with it.

If you arrive at dochost wanting to turn one format into another, you no longer have to figure out where to paste it.

What changed

• Eight new converter pages, each doing one job and doing it in the browser.
• Convert, then publish, without leaving the page. Every converter can hand its output straight to the publisher, so "I have a file" and "I have a link" are one step apart.
• All of them are reachable from the tools navigation, which now comes from a single source of truth instead of a hand-maintained list that drifted.

Also in this release

• Internal links no longer bounce through a redirect on the way to their target. Pages load slightly faster and search engines see one canonical URL per page.

You can now connect dochost to ChatGPT, Claude, or any MCP-capable assistant. Ask it to publish something and it hands you back a live link — no copying, no tab switching, no extension.

What changed

• Hosted MCP server at /api/mcp, with OAuth sign-in. Connect it once and your assistant can publish, update, list, and delete your pages.
• update_page keeps the link. Ask your assistant to revise a page and the URL and its view count stay the same. No more publishing a second link every time you fix a typo.
• Listed on the MCP Registry, so assistants that browse the registry can find it.

Expiry reminders

Free pages expire. Until now they expired silently. Now, if you have an account with a verified email, we send you one email a couple of days before a page goes away, so you can extend it or save the content.

When an AI chat hands you a finished HTML page or a long Markdown document, getting it to a shareable link used to mean copy, switch tabs, paste, publish. The extension removes all four steps.

What changed

• Publish to dochost is live on the Chrome Web Store and the Microsoft Edge Add-ons store. Same extension, same one click, whichever browser you use.
• It detects finished HTML and Markdown in your AI conversation and offers a publish button right there.
• No account required. The link works immediately.

Also in this release

• Our privacy policy now names every AI site the extension reads, and documents exactly how a page password is handled. If you want to know what it touches before installing it, that page is the answer.

Until now, every published page wrapped your content in English chrome — the "expires in N days" line, the share buttons, the footer. If you published a document in Korean, your readers still got English furniture around it.

What changed

• Automatic language detection. Every publish and every edit now detects the document's language and stores it with the page.
• The page chrome follows the document. A page written in Japanese is framed in Japanese, not in English. Your reader never sees a language they didn't ask for.
• The Markdown reader is localized too, including its call-to-action.

Also in this release

• Share buttons on the success card now tell us which channel a link travels through, so we can see how pages actually spread.
• Fixed a CSS leak in the social preview card, and the preview now points at the correct dochost.co URL.
• The "like" nudge on published pages can be dismissed.
