- Skip servers, CI pipelines, Docker, and framework decisions entirely
It works well for:

- internal or public knowledge bases / wikis.

If you enjoy writing in Markdown but don’t want publishing to become another thing to maintain, this might be useful:

We’re building this in the open and will share updates as it evolves. Feedback, ideas, and rough edges are very welcome. 💐
