The Lens
By Erik Loyd, SaaS CEO and former COO/CFO of an AWS Premier Partner.
Updated Aug 2026
Publishing to WeChat means pasting into an editor that mangles your formatting, and doocs/md exists because that experience is miserable. Write Markdown on the left, watch WeChat-ready styled output appear on the right, then copy it into the official editor with the formatting intact. It is released under the WTFPL, about as permissive as licensing gets.
The feature list runs well past its original job. KaTeX math, Mermaid and PlantUML diagrams, custom CSS themes, local draft autosave, and image upload to whichever host you already pay for: GitHub, S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, Aliyun, Tencent, or Qiniu. Self-hosting is one Docker command or a global npm install, and there is a Chrome extension build if you would rather it live in the browser.
Writers and small content teams get everything for nothing at md.doocs.org with no account required. Sign in only if you want editor preferences synced across devices. The AI assist features route through DeepSeek, OpenAI, Qwen, and others on your own API key.
The catch is the audience. Everything is built around WeChat's rendering quirks, the docs and issues are primarily in Chinese, and outside that publishing channel most of the value evaporates.
Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid
fully freeFree
The whole editor under the WTFPL. No feature gating and no account wall. Use the hosted instance at md.doocs.org, or run your own.
Self-Hosted Costs
docker run -d -p 8080:80 doocs/md:latest, or npm i -g @doocs/md-cli and run it on a port. It is a static frontend with no database, so a free static host covers it and a $5/mo VPS is already overkill.
Paid
No paid tier and no commercial edition. Cloud sync of editor preferences requires a login but is not charged for.
The Real Cost
The AI writing assistants are bring-your-own-key across DeepSeek, OpenAI, Qwen, Hunyuan, Volcengine, and 302.AI, so that spend is yours and is entirely optional. Image hosting is yours too: GitHub and Cloudflare R2 are effectively free at article volume, Aliyun and Tencent OSS run to pennies a month. Neither cost belongs to the editor.
Free under the WTFPL with no paid tier. The only money involved is your own AI API key and image host, both optional.
What to do by team size
- Solo
- free
- Small team
- free
- Medium team
- free; self-host the Docker image so drafts stay internal
- Large team
- free; irrelevant unless WeChat is a publishing channel for you
