The topic of today’s episode is all about Static Website Generators. I’m really excited to have on stage Sébastien Lorber to talk about Docusaurus 🦕.

There is nothing better than great software, than great software with great documentation!

That’s why having a great documentation website is crucial for the success of a project. Docusaurus helps you build a great website for your project with great features such as full-text search, localization & versioned docs.

In this episode, Sébastien will walk us through the project and will give a sneak previous of the release of Docusaurus v2!
