Gist Rocket

Publish HTML or Markdown as a live web page — in one keystroke.

Gist Rocket turns whatever's on your clipboard (or in a file) into a public URL you can share immediately. It's powered by GitHub Gists and the Gisthost service: your gist is the source of truth, but recipients just click an https://… link in their browser. No server to run, no deploy step.

Commands

• Publish Page — Takes the HTML or Markdown on your clipboard, publishes it, copies the live URL, and (optionally) opens it. Auto-detects format; pick a title or let it derive one from the first heading.
• Publish from File — Pick an .html / .md file, or a folder containing index.html. Local <script src="…"> and <link rel="stylesheet" href="…"> references are inlined automatically so the page works as a single file.
• My Pages — Browse, open, update, rename, or delete pages you've published.

Markdown support

Markdown is rendered to HTML at publish time using a compact GitHub-style stylesheet (inlined into the page so nothing is fetched from elsewhere). The original .md is stored alongside index.html in the gist as source.md, so the gist remains an editable source you can come back to.

Themes: light (default), dark, or auto (follows the viewer's system preference). Every published page also includes a small light/dark toggle in the top-right corner, so viewers can flip the theme to suit themselves; their choice is remembered per-page in localStorage.

Syntax highlighting: fenced code blocks are highlighted at publish time using highlight.js. Languages covered out of the box include JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, C#, C++, Swift, Kotlin, Ruby, PHP, SQL, Bash/Shell, HTML, CSS, JSON, YAML, Markdown, Objective-C, R, Dart, and PowerShell. The highlight palette flips with the theme automatically.

Preferences

• Host Base URL — Where pages are served. Defaults to the public Gisthost service.
• Default Visibility — Secret (unlisted) or Public. Both render identically.
• Default Markdown Theme — Light, Dark, or Auto.
• Auto-open after publish — Open the URL in your browser when publishing succeeds.
• Copy URL after publish — Copy the URL to your clipboard when publishing succeeds.

Notes

• "Secret" gists are unlisted, not encrypted. Anyone with the URL can view the page.
• Inline <script> blocks work. External <script src="…"> works when pointed at full https:// URLs. Local script paths are handled by the inlining step in Publish from File.
• Gists are flat: nested folders aren't supported. Keep assets at the top level.
