PrintDoc – Embed Compose Previews Anywhere

Turn Jetpack Compose previews into embeddable web scripts for docs and blogs

Problem
Android developers struggle to embed Compose previews in docs, blogs, or websites; current workarounds involve manual screenshots, screen recordings, or complex setups that are hard to maintain and non-interactive.
Solution
A CLI / Gradle plugin that compiles @Composable @Preview into an embeddable <script> tag; the output stays interactive and can be pasted into any static site or documentation.
Users
Android developers, technical bloggers, open-source library authors, documentation teams
MVP
Scan for Compose Preview annotations; generate embeddable JS scripts; provide simple configuration; support light/dark theme toggle; output to a target directory
Revenue
Open-source core with a Pro tier for private repo hosting, team collaboration, and custom domain embeds, billed annually
Why now
Compose is now the mainstream Android UI framework, yet sharing previews is still fragmented; indie developers can build a small but polished tool quickly
