Fumadocs
Docs framework for Next.js
FreeLibraries & build toolingfumadocs.dev
What it is
A documentation framework built on the Next.js App Router, v16, shipping as composable React components rather than a closed theme. It includes an MDX content pipeline, typed frontmatter, full-text search, OpenAPI page generation and Shiki highlighting, all styled with Tailwind.
Why it earns a slot
The self-hosted answer to Mintlify: similar polish, no monthly bill, and you can drop arbitrary React into any docs page. Being Tailwind-based, it matches a shadcn app's look for free.
Know before you commit
Requires Next.js — it will not bolt onto a plain Vite SPA. It ships frequent majors, so pin versions and expect occasional config churn.
