It is with great sadness to announce that our primary external Docusaurus contributor, Endilie Yacop Sucipto (Endi to those who knew him), passed away over the weekend after an illness associated with his bout with cancer.

2019 was a great year for Docusaurus - we've made tremendous progress on Docusaurus 2. Current Docusaurus 1 users who aren't using the translations feature can feel free to check it out and migrate to it! Caso contrário, trabalharemos com você para que isso aconteça em 2020 :)

Docusaurus went live on December 14, 2017. At the time, we had 8 early adopters.

Docusaurus was officially announced over nine months ago as a way to easily build open source documentation websites. Since then, it has amassed over 8,600 GitHub Stars, and is used by many popular open source projects such as React Native, Babel, Jest, Reason and Prettier.

Há um ditado que diz que o melhor software está em constante evolução, e o pior não. Caso você não saiba, estamos planejando e trabalhando na próxima versão do Docusaurus 🎉.

“Joel and I were discussing having a website and how it would have been great to launch with it. Então, eu me desafiei a adicionar suporte ao Docusaurus. Demorou pouco mais de uma hora e meia. Vou enviar-lhe um PR para que possa dar uma olhada e ver se gosta. 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. A tarefa em questão era transformar a documentação e o logotipo existentes num site.
