3. Docusaurus

   2 298 58,124 9.6 TypeScript

   Easy to maintain open source documentation websites.

   

   I was under the same impression as well. I have been using https://docusaurus.io/ for some time now and I am very happy with it and I am pretty sure there are other tools out there as well.

4. orgmode

   3 94 3,196 9.5 Lua

   Orgmode clone written in Lua for Neovim 0.10.0+.

   

   There's actually a quite featureful version of org for Neovim: nvim-orgmode https://github.com/nvim-orgmode/orgmode

5. MkDocs

   4 118 19,802 7.9 Python

   Project documentation with Markdown.

   

6. md-page

   5 1 1,294 4.0 JavaScript

   📝 create a webpage with just markdown

   

   I use this one which is also nice: https://github.com/oscarmorrison/md-page

7. Grav

   6 91 14,688 7.9 PHP

   Modern, Crazy Fast, Ridiculously Easy and Amazingly Powerful Flat-File CMS powered by PHP, Markdown, Twig, and Symfony

   

   The Grav CMS also internally uses Markdown for the page contents and generates static files: https://getgrav.org/

   They do use YAML FrontMatter for attaching metadata so the CMS knows how to process certain pages (e.g. page title, page type etc.), but it isn't too complicated in practice: https://learn.getgrav.org/17/content/content-pages#page-file

   They also have an admin plugin, which you can use if you prefer a more traditional workflow, even if it just generates the same file format under the hood: https://learn.getgrav.org/16/admin-panel/introduction

   I'm actually using an ancient version of Grav for my own blog, although I had to put the admin path behind additional auth (in addition to the one it already provides), for safety: https://blog.kronis.dev/

   I really like hybrid systems like that: a CMS for blogging or just writing in general that's based on Markdown, generates static files for decent performance, but is also extensible with additional functionality, and also has a decent web UI if you want one.

   (there are probably other CMSes like that out there, or more generic solutions, too)

8. casual-markdown

   7 9 27 1.0 JavaScript

   A very lightweight regexp-based markdown parser, with TOC and scrollspy support

10. docsify

    8 30 28,695 8.1 JavaScript

    🃏 A magical documentation site generator.

    

11. markdown-blog

    9 8 96 4.5 PHP

    Simple PHP blog that renders markdown posts. No installation or database needed.

    

    I did something similar, but for adding a blog system to a server running PHP: https://github.com/Cristy94/markdown-blog

    The idea is that having it server-side allows for the page to be cached by a CDN (e.g. CloudFlare), so you end up serving static HTML, with better performance and SEO than JS-compiled markdown.
