Announcing Publier

A modern content-site toolkit for technical teams. Polished docs, blog, and marketing pages with one CLI.

By Publier Team

We’re excited to announce Publier, a content-site toolkit for technical teams. If you’ve ever wanted docs that load instantly, look great out of the box, and don’t require endless configuration — Publier is for you.

Why Publier

Documentation is the first thing developers encounter when evaluating a tool. Yet most documentation platforms are slow, hard to customize, or require significant boilerplate to get started. We built Publier to fix that.

You get a production-ready content site — sidebar, search, dark mode, OpenAPI reference — on day one. Most components are zero-JS HTML with CSS animation; a small set use lightweight web components for progressive enhancement. The MDX pipeline is pre-wired with sensible defaults.

What’s in v1

  • MDX pipeline — write docs in MDX with callouts, code tabs, steps, and cards out of the box.
  • 14 built-in color themes — pick ocean, emerald, catppuccin, and more. One line in theme.yaml to switch.
  • Full-text search — Pagefind-powered, no external service required. Static index built from the emitted HTML on every build.
  • OpenAPI reference — generate interactive API docs from your OpenAPI 3.x or AsyncAPI spec with @publier/openapi.
  • AI-ready — automatic llms.txt generation so AI coding tools can index your docs.
  • Deploy anywhere — pure static output. Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, or any static host.

What’s next

The foundation is here: docs, blog, marketing, search, themes, OpenAPI integration, and a native scaffolder (publier new). We’re building in the open and shipping fast. Follow along.
