MDX Docs - A lightweight React framework for MDX documentation sites
by•
I built MDX Docs because I wanted a straightforward way to create MDX-powered documentation sites without adopting a large framework.

Hey everyone!
I'm Ezra, the creator of MDX Docs.
I built this because I wanted a simple way to create documentation sites using tools I already like working with: React, Vite, and MDX. A lot of existing documentation platforms felt a bit heavy for smaller projects, so I wanted something more lightweight and easy to reason about.
With MDX Docs you can:
- Write documentation as MDX pages with embedded React components
- Map each page directly to a route
- Get a built-in layout with sidebar navigation, syntax highlighting, and light/dark mode
- Scaffold a new docs site instantly with:
```
npx create-mdx-docs@latest my-docs
```
The project is fully open source, and I'd love feedback from other developers building docs sites or component libraries.
If you try it out, let me know what you think or what features you'd like to see next!
