Voxx is a content management tool for people who write in Markdown and want it turned into a finished website, without running a separate database or admin panel. Instead of typing content into a web form somewhere, you write plain Markdown files directly in your code repository, the same way you would write code, and those files can be reviewed the same way a pull request is reviewed. Voxx then takes those files and builds them into a polished blog, documentation site, or changelog. It supports three types of content out of the box. A blog is a simple flat list of posts shown newest first. Docs are organized as a folder tree that becomes a nested site with a sidebar for navigation. A changelog tracks versioned releases, useful for showing what changed between versions of a product. Each Markdown file can include structured information at the top called frontmatter, which Voxx checks for correctness, and the tool also adds features like syntax highlighting for code blocks, automatic table of contents, reading time estimates, and clickable heading links. Search engine visibility is handled automatically as well. Voxx generates the technical details search engines and social media platforms look for, such as sitemap files, RSS feeds, and preview cards for links shared on social media, without the person writing content needing to configure any of it. There are two ways to use the finished site. It can be added as routes inside an existing Next.js application, or built as a fully static set of HTML files that can be hosted anywhere. Everything is controlled from one configuration file, and a single project can have a blog, docs, and a changelog all at once. This tool is aimed at developers and technical writers who are comfortable working with a code repository and command line tools, rather than someone looking for a visual, drag-and-drop website builder. It is released under the MIT license, so it can be used freely, including commercially, as long as the copyright notice is kept.
