huh, I just adopted mkdocs in a project, glad they’re keeping the config backwards compatible for a while

I wanted to write that this seems nonzensical to me but I actually get the reasoning. That being said MkDocs has quite a few plugins, hopefully Zensical can provide similar functionality (either itself or as plugins). Also I hope this does not just become a commercial rug pull…

Thanks for posting this here. I’m not sure what to think about this, just set up mkdocs-material with huge customizations, including the macros plugin and tons of CSS. So it’d be tedious to eventually migrate to the new “component system” as they say.

Welp, should’ve gone with a barebone SSG and configured what I want. Feels like I’m kinda stuck in no man’s land now.

Nice. I knew something was in the works for Material for MkDocs and it turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Which is a binary executable that you point to a repo and it gives you a static website.

this could be my picocms replacement, I know its for doc sites but I love how simple it is.
