### What we like

Docs written in Markdown (MDX, with React component support). Built on top of Next.js. Native support for docs concepts like sections, tabs, callout, syntax highlighting. Supports server side generation from remote sources e.g. GitHub star count. Static search. I18n support. Dark mode. Open source.

### Tradeoffs

Design customization is somewhat limited - you need to create a custom theme from scratch if you want to do more than minor tweaks.
