“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. Webサイトのインフラを気にするのではなく、良いドキュメントを書くことに重点を置くこと。
2. ブログのサポート、検索、バージョン管理など、必要とする機能を提供するため。
3. アップデート、新機能、バグ修正を簡単に更新できるようにするため。
4. そして最後に、すべてのオープンソースプロジェクトで一貫した外観を提供することです。
