2/7 Our fresh, modern design breaks free from the Material design aesthetic: – New look, same structure = trivial to switch – New mobile sidebar Want to keep the Material Design look? No problem – it's just a single line of configuration.

3/7 ZRX, our new differential build engine, makes repeated builds 4-5x faster: – $ zensical serve – start writing immediately – Fix typos in seconds, not minutes We're just getting started: moving Python Markdown to a Rust-based parser in 2026 – unlocking its full potential.

4/7 Disco, our blazing-fast client-side search engine we've built from scratch, with better ranking and filtering capabilities: – Lightweight – Rich-text support – Filters and aggregations – Search in paths We'll also release Disco as a standalone OSS project in 2026.

Lost me at still templates 🙁 From a "modern" static site generator, I would expect some kind of component based system for generating HTML.

A component system is one of the top priorities on our roadmap – we already have a working prototype and will transition it to production-ready in the coming months ☺️ zensical.org/about/roadma...

I'm currently using MkDocs Material for my website (www.microlinux.fr) and blog (www.microlinux.fr/blog). I wonder if it's a good idea to wait until around september 2026 to migrate this to Zensical. Or is the project already mature enough to do this without too many hiccups ?

It depends on what features you use. Check our compatibility section to learn what features are already compatible. Additionally, we're working hard bringing Zensical en par with Material for MkDocs. You will likely not need to wait until September 2026. zensical.org/compatibility/
