Using Markdoc with Next.js

Released in 2022, Markdoc is a relatively new Markdown-based authoring framework. The Markdoc project is open-source and it powers Stripe's documentation. Their website has a live edit button which makes the website a playground for you to give Markdoc a try. Documentations created with Markdoc will automatically render with your React app and using @markdoc/next.js for your Next.js app.

A couple of weeks ago, we open-sourced Markdoc, the authoring tool powering the Stripe docs. To accompany the launch, we published a blog post showing how to get started using Markdoc with Next.js, using the @markdoc/next.js plugin. In this blog post, I’ll show you how to create your own plugin, using the one I wrote for Parcel, as an example, so that you can use Markdoc with it.

we put in a lot of effort into our docs and we'd greatly appreciate any criticism or feedback! Langfuse is powerful but the docs should help beginners to quickly get started and then incrementally use more features.

docs are OSS, repo: https://github.com/langfuse/langfuse-docs

built using: https://github.com/shuding/nextra

However, this may just be due to the lack of proper documentation from the Nextra side of things (shoutout to Nextra though, regardless).

Nextra - Nextra is another option for creating documentation sites. While it might not be as well-known as Docusaurus, Nextra offers a modern and minimalist approach to building documentation. It is designed to be lightweight and user-friendly, making it a good choice for those who prefer a simple and clean documentation style. You can explore more about Nextra on their official website.

I have looked at https://nextra.site/ but that doesn't work with the app router yet. So I'm wondering if there's another alternative.

You could also have a look at Nextra. You can use mdx components to build your blog (including support for server-side fetching). I'm currently using their documentation template, but it seems they also have a blog template.

We write everything in Markdown, as it's the closest you'll get to a 'universal' format. Then, we use a static site generator to turn the docs into a website. Current projects are using Nextra for this. If you ever need to change site generators, you still have all the markdown docs and image files, so it's pretty easy to change.

https://nextra.site/ is nice

Today I found this tool for Next.js called Nextra. You can effortlessly create a blog post website or a documentation website. All you need is markdown. Simply export your markdown from Notion and utilize it with Nextra to enjoy all the cool features, including full-text search, syntax highlighting, dark/light mode, and even image support. Everything is generated at build time, making it a static website which is Blazingly fast. https://nextra.site/
