Set it up on a small internal docs site over the weekend to replace a Docusaurus install that had gotten slow to build. The one-command deploy on Astro actually works as advertised, and the search felt instant compared to what I had before. Theming was straightforward without fighting the config. Still poking at whether it handles a really large doc set (500+ pages) as well as it handles the smaller one I tried, so holding back a star until I've pushed it further.
always be launching!
first launched 2 months ago, @Blume 2.0 is already here. fast, AI-optimized, with zero-config, this open-source @Mintlify alternative is used by products like @Neon and supported by @Cloudflare and @CodeRabbit.
s/o to @haydenbleasel for this new launch! 👏👏
Can I add a custom React or Astro component inside a markdown page, like a small demo or a pricing table? Or is it plain markdown only..?
@joy_wilson1 You can bring your own components from lots of languages - Astro, React, Vue, etc.

"Drop Markdown into a folder and ship" is the part I like.. No app boilerplate to set up or keep updated. I've lost whole afternoons just getting a docs site to build.
the "scored by two independent scanners" bit in the screenshots caught my eye more than the zero-config pitch - docs getting an agent-readability score feels like the SEO audit equivalent for a different reader. we write most of our internal docs by just pointing Claude at the codebase and having it draft the markdown, and I've never had a way to check if the output is actually easy for an agent to parse later vs just easy for a human to skim. what does the scanner actually check - structure/headings, or does it get into things like whether code examples are runnable as-is
Zero config docs where you just drop Markdown into a folder and get a production ready site is exactly what most projects want, and being open source forever is a strong promise. Building it AI ready from the start makes sense now that agents read docs as often as people do. Nice work shipping 2.0 so soon after launch.
