About this website

A Next.js based static site generator designed specifically for building documentation websites, wikis, and knowledge bases with minimal configuration and maximum developer convenience. Built on top of Next.js, it inherits powerful features including file-system routing, incremental static regeneration for on-demand page rebuilding, React Server Components for optimal performance, and edge runtime deployment for global distribution with near-zero latency. Content is authored in Markdown or MDX, which extends Markdown with JSX components, enabling interactive code playgrounds, live demos, and embedded React components directly within documentation pages. The built-in file-based routing automatically generates navigation from the file structure, creating nested sidebar menus, breadcrumbs, and previous and next page links without manual configuration. The full-text search functionality uses a client-side FlexSearch index built at build time, providing instant search results without server-side dependencies, with support for filtering by section and highlighting matching terms. Themes include a default documentation theme with light and dark mode, syntax highlighting for over 100 programming languages through Shiki, table of contents generation from heading hierarchy, and built-in SEO optimization with Open Graph tags, sitemap generation, and RSS feed creation. The flexible theme system allows complete customization through React components while maintaining the documentation-focused defaults. Deployment targets include Vercel for zero-configuration hosting, static export to any CDN or static host, and Docker containerization for self-hosting. The project has been adopted by major open source projects for their documentation sites and supports features including internationalization, versioned documentation, and multiple content namespaces for organizing documentation across products.
