"The documentation is written and maintained in Markdown, across a couple of git repositories, by our fantastic team of technical writers, partners, and invited experts, alongside our enormous community of contributors and translators."
"Rebuilding our frontend had been a long time coming because of how tricky it was to work on MDN's UI. Our previous frontend (called yari) was a React app that, unfortunately, had accumulated quite a lot of technical debt."
"Whenever we fixed issues or added new site functionality, we inevitably ended up piling on more technical debt. But how did we get there?"
MDN launched a new frontend with a unified design and improved underlying code. The content is created in Markdown and processed through a build tool that converts it into HTML and JSON files. The frontend then compiles these files into fully-featured pages. The previous React app had accumulated technical debt, making maintenance challenging. The overhaul aimed to simplify the user interface and enhance the overall functionality of the site.
