"Create book from markdown files. Like Gitbook but implemented in Rust"

- karlicoss 7y agoPerhaps the readme should emphasise it, but the gitbook public repository was abandoned by the company who open sourced it.
- steveklabnik 7y agoI actually did not know this until this comment. mdbook was originally created because we liked the UX of gitbook, but didn't want to introduce a Node dependency into building Rust.
- bachmeier 7y agoThat would certainly be useful information to provide in the readme. I'd never heard of gitbook or mdbook before this.

- karmakaze 7y agoI just started using GitBook for a blog because it is opensource and offers a free hosted site. As I understand it only the CLI portion is unmaintained[0] which aligns with how it's being used by the developers (and me).
