Migrated CAD AutoScript to Docusaurus
· One min read
We just replaced the hand-authored HTML landing page with a full Docusaurus wiki. The new stack unlocks MDX embeds, versioned docs, built-in search, and dark/light themes for free.
Highlights
- Docusaurus classic template with a custom hero, telemetry panel, and catalog cards.
- Utility catalog docs that link directly to /utilities/* SPAs, so engineers can read specs and launch tools without leaving the page.
- MDX embedding guide that shows how to wrap calculators as React components or inline iframes.
- Static folder migration so legacy calculators (Pipe Cutter, Shell Rolling, QR tags, etc.) still deploy verbatim.
What to do next
- Write doc pages for any missing macros or calculators.
- Convert older calculators to React components so they can be embedded without an iframe.
- Use the blog to publish release notes whenever a tool changes behavior or receives new inputs.
Enjoy the faster workflow! The pm run start dev server reloads instantly, so editing docs is finally painless.
