Thanks for posting this here. I'm not sure what to think about this, just set up mkdocs-material with huge customizations, including the macros plugin and tons of CSS. So it'd be tedious to eventually migrate to the new "component system" as they say.

Welp, should've gone with a barebone SSG and configured what I want. Feels like I'm kinda stuck in no man's land now.

this could be my picocms replacement, I know its for doc sites but I love how simple it is.

Nice. I knew something was in the works for Material for MkDocs and it turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Which is a binary executable that you point to a repo and it gives you a static website.
