Alpha: Ships on npm at 7.0.0-alpha.07.0.0-alpha.0
Coming from earlier mdxui
What retired from earlier mdxui (the Site wrapper, Card, Tier, UsageMeter, Storybook) and where each idea lives now.
Earlier mdxui described a Business as React components: a <Startup> wrapping a <Site> of <Hero> and <Pricing> elements. mdxui 7 keeps the idea, components for Businesses, and changes the material: a page is a record an agent writes, and hand-made Section types draw it.
What retired, and where it lives now
| Earlier | Now | Why |
|---|---|---|
The <Site> wrapper | A folder of Page records under one Theme; Ship a Site builds it | Site is startupbuilder.dev's Noun, and a Site is data |
<Hero>, <Pricing>, <FAQ> and their props | One entry in sections, drawn by one of 27 Section types | An agent writes words, never markup |
Card | Tile, the item root of the contract | On startupbuilder.dev, Card names a payment credential |
Tier, PricingTier | OfferTile; each plan in a pricing section | An Offer is the priced choice |
UsageMeter | UsageGauge | A meter counts billable usage on startupbuilder.dev |
| Site types: marketing, docs, blog, directory, marketplace, API | Worked Businesses and Templates | Built and rendered, not described |
| Per-component examples for a SaaS, a dev tool, an agency | Every Section type page shows its type in three worked Businesses | Real records, rendered |
| App shell, Dashboard, Settings, API keys, Usage | App studies: 13 App types, studied | The App design is open; no App package exists |
| Business, Startup and Service declarations | startupbuilder.dev, which owns those Nouns | One owner per definition |
| Storybook | Live previews on every Section type, Theme and guide page | Every preview is a render of the published package |
pnpm add mdxui | pnpm add @mdxui/site@7.0.0-alpha.0 | The bare name is an earlier, unrelated release |
Claims that no longer hold
- Open source under MIT. The 7 packages are unlicensed alpha releases, and their source is closed while they are alpha.
- Components that deploy infrastructure. mdxui renders pages. It provisions no database, auth, billing or hosting; a Site ships on the host you choose.
- Time to an MVP. These docs count Section types, Themes and worked Businesses, which you can check, and make no promise of elapsed time.
Moving a page across
- List the sections the earlier page drew, top to bottom.
- For each, pick the Section type on Choosing a Section type.
- Start from the worked page closest to yours in the Showcase and rewrite its words.
- Parse it. Each refusal names the field to shorten.
