VitePress 1.0: It's Official

VitePress is a Static Site Generator (SSG) designed for building fast, content-centric websites. In a nutshell, VitePress takes your source content written in Markdown, applies a theme to it, and generates static HTML pages that can be easily deployed anywhere.

VitePress is built on top of Vite and Vue, and is the spiritual successor and modern replacement of VuePress.

VitePress is a versatile tool that can be used for a variety of purpose and here's why.

• Documentation: VitePress excels at creating technical documentation. It's the engine behind the documentation for many popular projects including Vue.js itself.
• Beyond Documentation: While it shines in docs, VitePress can also be used for blogs, portfolios, and marketing sites. Its flexibility allows for fully customized themes and functionality similar to a standard Vue.js application.
• Developer Friendly: VitePress prioritizes a smooth developer experience for working with Markdown content. Features like instant server updates, built-in Markdown extensions, and Vue integration within markdown pages make it ideal for creating and maintaining content.
• Performance: VitePress offers the best of both worlds when it comes to performance. Websites built with VitePress deliver fast initial loads thanks to static HTML, and a seamless user experience for subsequent navigation within the site due to its Single Page Application (SPA) functionality.

A really great choice for spinning up documentation and blog websites.
