Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Lightweight web framework for building docs. Built-in client-side search. Customizable code highlighting with support for annotations and diffs. Write using Markdown, Markdoc and MDX. Built on top of Astro so it supports UI components e.g. React, Vue, Svelte, and server side rendering.

Tradeoffs

Supports Remark and Rehype plugins, but isn’t fully compatible due to how Astro’s rendering works.
