Today we are happy to announce the (long overdue) 1.0 release of VitePress!
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.
