Create documentation with markdown.


Whoa! I just came across MDX Docs, a tool built by Brent Jackson, that offers a potentially easier way to create and maintain app, design, and component documentation.

Build docs with Next.js and MDX

Per the official MDX site, MDX allows you to use JSX in your markdown content. Though MDX Docs is built for Next.js (created by the Zeit Crew), MDX gets compiled to JavaScript that can be used in any framework that supports JSX.

According to the repo, MDX Docs has the following features out-of-the-box:

  • Create documentation with markdown
  • Import and use React components
  • Component-based API
  • Live code examples
  • Customizable themes
  • Built for Next.js

That's an awesome feature list!

Looking forward to exploring this more and seeing if I can use it for some of my Next.js projects.
