Thanks for the interest in CleanDocs.io!
I built this over the past few weeks as I was trying to find an alternative to Confluence when I wanted to just share some quick documentation with someone.
While things like Pastebin and others existed, they didn't quite fill the sharing and permissions aspect that I was looking for.
My main goal for CleanDocs is to provide a platform for users in which they can come in, paste (or write up) some Markdown content, and be able to easily within seconds share it with other people, whether they have an account (read/write permissions available for private documents) or not (read permissions for public documents).
I hope you enjoy the product and it is able to help you with your tasks! Feel free to ask any questions, will gladly answer.
Love the focus on markdown and speed. Confluence feels heavy for quick docs and sharing permissions. CleanDocs hits that paste-and-share sweet spot with public/private links and simple org. Any plans for version history or custom domains? Congrats on the launch!

@alexcloudstar Thank you for your question! Absolutely! Version history as well as some polishing is next up on the list, as when I was testing with multiple accounts I found that it can get confusing knowing who edited what, and maybe even some sort of alert system so that if someone edits a document and you are currently viewing it, you get a notification to reload the page.
As for custom domains, I also thought about it! I think I can start with just a custom id for simplicity which is something I can implement fairly quickly, eg: cleandocs.io/doc/my-custom-doc-name and then in the future allow people to connect their own domains altogether.
