Show HN: Publish Google Docs to GitHub/Gitlab as Markdown with AI Img Alt Txt (workspace.google.com)

I'm a software architect and technical writer.

I needed a Markdown editor for collaborative writing and publishing directly to GitHub pages built with Jekyll, but couldn't find any with collaboration features as robust as Google Docs. Google Docs also lacks native GitHub integration.

So, I built this add-on to solve my own problem, and now it's a full-fledged product!

Features at a glance:

- Accessibility checks for missing titles, incorrect heading levels, and missing image alt texts

- Publish to GitHub or GitLab as Markdown in a Single Click

- Convert to Markdown or Clean HTML & download as a zip (including images)

- Automatic image compression for Git Image uploads

- Automatic image-caption generation (Alt Text) using AI

- Automatic Front-Matter generation for static site generators like Jekyll, Hugo, and MkDocs

- Cloud image hosting - to avoid bloating of Git repositories by hosting binary files

- Reusable snippets for Boilerplate text and code

- Streamlines the Docs-as-Code pipeline

- Flawless publishing
