Show HN: Docmd v0.3 – Static documentation generator (built-in search, no React)
enigmazi Tuesday, December 02, 2025
Hi HN, I posted docmd here a few months ago when it was just a simple markdown parser.
I'm back with v0.3 because we just hit a major milestone: fully offline, client-side full-text search with zero configuration.
I built this because I wanted a Node.js-native alternative to MkDocs Material. I didn't want to install Python in my CI/CD just for docs, and Docusaurus felt too heavy (React hydration) for simple static text.
Docmd generates raw HTML/CSS, is under 15kb gzipped, and now handles search, versioning, and diagrams natively. Would love to hear what you think of the search implementation.
Summary
The article introduces docmd, a lightweight Markdown parser for JavaScript that allows users to convert Markdown text into HTML. It highlights the project's simplicity, flexibility, and compatibility with various platforms and libraries.
