FAQ

Aren't secret Gists also unlisted?
Yes — but the URL is opaque and the page still says "GitHub Gist." Anchorify gives you /you/q1-report, your brand in the header, and a render that does not look like a dev tool.
Can I move my existing Gists over?
Yes — paste the markdown into /new, or use the CLI. There is no auto-import yet; ping us if you want one.
Do you support code with syntax highlighting?
Yes. JSON, YAML, CSV, TSV, HTML, and code files render natively. See /docs/content-types.
Do viewers need an account?
No. Anyone with the URL can read. Posting comments or reactions requires a Google sign-in.
