Very proud of the team today: we’re launching @zensical Studio. 👏 A lot of work went into making this fast, precise, and useful in real documentation projects. If you write docs with Zensical or MkDocs, we'd love your feedback!

Today, we're launching Zensical Studio, the missing productivity layer for Docs-as-Code. The idea is simple: Refactor documentation like code. Rename headings safely. Catch [broken links] instantly. Works with Zensical and MkDocs projects. zensical.org/studio/

2022 has been an incredible year for Material for MkDocs. We increased our monthly funding from $4k to over $10k, and growth is still looking insane. I'm so glad that I'm allowed to work on something that I personally believe in, building something I think is important. 1/🧵
