So happy to see Docusaurus hit the big 2.0! I use it to power my blog and it's a tremendous tool. The DX is fantastic and it's open source! I've been able to contribute to it myself. Amazing times!

I'm really disappointed with the conversation this has provoked. I was a fortunate recipient of this and I am delighted. I'm pleased about the money, that's great. But more than that I was really thrilled to discover that I h
