2020 was great for Docusaurus, despite a regrettable start and a tumultuous year for everyone.
We continued to invest in Docusaurus 2, and made it reach full feature parity with Docusaurus 1.
We now recommend Docusaurus 2 as the default choice to start a new Docusaurus project and encourage v1 users to migrate to Docusaurus 2.
We are still in alpha, but expect some good news very soon!
It is with great sadness to announce that our primary external Docusaurus contributor, Endilie Yacop Sucipto (Endi to those who knew him), passed away over the weekend after an illness associated with his bout with cancer.
2019 was a great year for Docusaurus - we've made tremendous progress on Docusaurus 2. Current Docusaurus 1 users who aren't using the translations feature can feel free to check it out and migrate to it! Otherwise we will work with you to make that happen in 2020 :)
Docusaurus went live on December 14, 2017. At the time, we had 8 early adopters.
Docusaurus was officially announced over nine months ago as a way to easily build open source documentation websites. Since then, it has amassed over 8,600 GitHub Stars, and is used by many popular open source projects such as React Native, Babel, Jest, Reason and Prettier.
There is a saying that the very best software is constantly evolving, and the very worst is not. In case you are not aware, we have been planning and working on the next version of Docusaurus 🎉.
