Introduction

Publier is a CLI-distributed content-site toolkit for technical companies — docs, blog, marketing, and changelog, authored in MDX and deployed anywhere.

Publier is a content-site toolkit for technical companies. Write in MDX, configure with YAML, run publier dev. You get a polished site covering your full content surface — docs, blog, marketing, changelog, status page, knowledge base — at a design bar most teams can’t reach when building it themselves.

Built on Astro + Tailwind CSS v4 + daisyUI. 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.

How it works

Install the CLI. Grab the binary with curl -fsSL https://publier.net/install.sh | sh.
Scaffold. publier new my-site picks a template, sets your brand colors, and runs install.
Write. Add .mdx files to src/content/docs/. Each file becomes a route.
Configure. publier.config.yaml for site behavior; theme.yaml for brand colors.
Ship. publier build outputs production-grade static HTML deployable anywhere.
