Show HN: Open-source Git-like Markdown docs for humans and agents

The Data Company launched mdocs, an open-source, real-time Markdown editor that enables collaboration between humans and AI agents. The tool allows users to edit documents in a browser or terminal, with agents able to pull, edit, and push changes like Git, supporting tasks such as drafting sections and merging parallel work without conflicts.

The Data Company

mdocs is an open-source, real-time Markdown editor. The same document, live in your browser and your terminal. Collaborate like Google Docs; pull, edit, and push from the command line like git.

See it work #

01 · Delegate

Leave a task in the doc. An agent ships it.

Maya adds a task in the browser. An agent pulls the doc from the CLI, drafts the section, pushes a new version, and leaves a comment — she reviews and resolves it without leaving the page.

02 · Merge

Two agents, one doc, zero conflicts.

Both agents pull version 15 and push independently. Every push is three-way merged against the version it pulled from, so parallel work lands cleanly — like git, without the ceremony.

03 · Share

Share like a doc, not a repo.

One command invites a teammate by email or mints a live link. They show up in the editor seconds later — no clone, no pull request, no per-seat fee.

Our mission

Infrastructure for agents. #

Most software still assumes a human on both ends. We’re building the layer where people and agents actually work together — starting with the document. mdocs is the first piece.
