Docusaurus 是一款构建开源软件文档网站的软件，于约九个月前正式发布。 那时起，本项目收获了 8600 个 GitHub 星标，并被包括 React Native、Babel、Jest、Reason 及 Prettier 在内的活跃开源项目所使用。

俗话说：“逆水行舟，不进则退”，软件也是如此。 您可能不知道，我们正规划开发下一版 Docusaurus 🎉。

“Joel and I were discussing having a website and how it would have been great to launch with it. So I challenged myself to add Docusaurus support. It took just over an hour and a half. I'm going to send you a PR with the addition so you can take a look and see if you like it. Your workflow for adding docs wouldn't be much different from editing those Markdown files.”

— Note sent to the Profilo team

This is the story of the rather short journey it took to create the Profilo website using Docusaurus.

Profilo, an Android library for collecting performance traces from production, was announced earlier this year. The project was published on GitHub with a less than a handful or Markdown files to describe its functionality and no website to showcase any branding and highlight the logo. The task at hand was to turn these existing docs and logo into a website.

We are very happy to introduce Docusaurus to help you manage one or many open source websites.

We created Docusaurus for the following reasons:

1. To put the focus on writing good documentation instead of worrying about the infrastructure of a website.
2. To provide features that many of our open source websites need like blog support, search and versioning.
3. To make it easy to push updates, new features, and bug fixes to everyone all at once.
4. And, finally, to provide a consistent look and feel across all of our open source projects.
