What makes MkDocs easier to use than Docusaurus for a non-dev user exactly? The only thing I can see is that maybe you are more familiar with Python than Node.

The only thing I can see is that maybe you are more familiar with Python than Node.js? Otherwise using Docusaurus or MkDocs are both equally easy IMHO
You can get a Docusaurus site online in 1 minute, and publish your first doc edit in 2 minutes. See demo video: https://twitter.com/leeerob/status/1554211061284364290 https://twitter.com/leeerob/status/1554211061284364290
You can even try it in your browser right now: https://docusaurus.new https://docusaurus.new
- jacooper 4y agoI didn't have to code anything. I just created a yaml config, set the theme, the title, and the themes setting, and I was done. I didn't need any coding.
- slorber 4y agoDocusaurus is similar: you don't need to code anything, and can start with a config file + a folder of Markdown files. The only difference is that our config file is a .js file instead of .yaml, which I'd say is more powerful since you can do fancy things like reading env variables to make your config "dynamic". But by default a Docusaurus config file is not too complex. Probably a bit more than MkDocs (as we keep some boilerplate on purpose so that you can just tweak it) but still not really requiring to be a JS developer to edit.
