Introduction

Here are some of my technical notes presented with Material for MkDocs, chosen for its design principles:

  • It's just Markdown: Focus on the content of your documentation and create a professional static site in minutes. No need to know HTML, CSS or JavaScript – let Material for MkDocs do the heavy lifting for you.

  • Works on all devices: Serve your documentation with confidence – the underlying layout automatically adapts to perfectly fit the available screen estate, no matter the type or size of the viewing device.

  • Made to measure: Change the colors, fonts, language, icons, logo and much more with a few lines of configuration. Material for MkDocs can be easily extended and provides tons of options to alter appearance and behavior.

  • Fast and lightweight: Don't let your users wait – get incredible value with a small footprint, by using one of the fastest themes around with excellent performance, yielding great search engine rankings and happy users that return.

  • Accessible: Make accessibility a priority – users can navigate your documentation with touch devices, keyboard, and screen readers. Semantic markup ensures that your documentation works for everyone.

  • Open Source: Trust 45,000+ users – choose a mature and well-funded solution built with state-of-the-art Open Source technologies. Keep ownership of your content without fear of vendor lock-in. Licensed under MIT.

More specifically, I use the sponsorware edition Material for MkDocs Insiders:

Material for MkDocs follows the sponsorware release strategy, which means that new features are first exclusively released to sponsors as part of Insiders. Read on to learn what sponsorships achieve, how to become a sponsor to get access to Insiders, and what's in it for you!

What is Insiders?

Material for MkDocs Insiders is a private fork of Material for MkDocs, hosted as a private GitHub repository. Almost all new features are developed as part of this fork, which means that they are immediately available to all eligible sponsors, as they are made collaborators of this repository.

Every feature is tied to a funding goal in monthly subscriptions. When a funding goal is hit, the features that are tied to it are merged back into Material for MkDocs and released for general availability, making them available to all users. Bugfixes are always released in tandem.
